Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I am an equine, the narrator of Anna Sewell's book about me. What color is in my name?

Answer: black

My name is Black Beauty. This book is an autobiography of my life. My mother taught me that "There are a great many kinds of men; there are good, thoughtful men like our master that any horse may be proud to serve; but there are bad, cruel men who never ought to have a horse or dog to call their own." Yes I have indeed met kind people and mean ones. I was loved as a carriage horse and abused as a cab horse. My fortunes, good and bad, are all written in the book.
2. I am a princess in a fairy tale written by the Brothers Grimm, and I have seven dwarfs as my friends. What color is in my name?

Answer: white

I am Snow White. I first appeared in Tale #53 in the original "Grimm's Fairy Tales" published in 1812. In the original story, unlike the Disney version, the wicked queen tried to kill me three times. Twice the dwarfs saved me, and the third time they took me as dead when the poisoned apple stuck in my throat.

The prince saw me in my glass coffin and wanted it for himself and it was not until the movement of the coffin dislodged the piece of apple from my throat that I was saved and we went on to face my evil stepmother.

Each of my books contains ten mystery cases and readers are invited to examine the clues and deduce the solutions along with me.

I did, however, manage to escape with some of the treasure at the end.
