SATNROSE’S BOOK QUIZ

SATNROSE’S BOOK QUIZ

2. What is the most valuable printed book?

Answer in invisible ink: 2. Was The Gutenberg Bible; now it is the Caxton Canterbury Tales

Note: I think a complete Gutenberg would beat the Canterbury if offered up to auction. However, the Caxton Canterbury is currently the most expensive printed book ever to change hands. 13 million? I forget.....

WHO robbed the woods,
The trusting woods?
The unsuspecting trees
Brought out their burrs and mosses
His fantasy to please.
He scanned their trinkets, curious,
He grasped, he bore away.
What will the solemn hemlock,
What will the fir-tree say?

"I" said the Sparrow, "with my bow and, er... ah, no. That was the C*ck Robin thing, wasn't it? Never mind. You haven't seen me, I was never here."

 

Had to use C*ck as otherwise this dim-witted forum turns it into **Bleep**

A preoccupation with the next world is a clear indication of an inability to cope credibly with this one.

Forest-pine Out of order, yes; but answers are correct. You are only missing the title of the story in the book in the multi-part question.


The first story in which Penquin appears is "Winter: In Which Penguin Arrives in the Forest" in the book, The Best Bear in All the World.
