L Authors Trivia Questions
1. In Edward Lear's poem, 'The Owl and the Pussycat went __ in a beautiful __ ' What are the missing words?

From Quiz Beware the Lunar Light

Answer: To sea, pea-green boat

The poem's heroes decided to sail away together out to sea in a little wooden boat. Edward Lear is known for his nonsense verse, but his first work was as an artist, drawing birds for the Zoological Society. He was also a musician, and played the piano, accordion, flute and small guitar.

2. How old is Cal in the first six books of the series?

From Quiz Conspiracy 365

Answer: 15

From Quiz Was It the Chocolate Pudding?

6. The Owl and the Pussycat took some provisions with them. They took some honey, and plenty of money, wrapped up - in what?

From Quiz Beware the Lunar Light

Answer: A five-pound note

The poem doesn't say, but I think the honey was in a jar, and it was just the money that was wrapped up in the five-pound note. Otherwise there would have been an awful, sticky mess. Five pounds back when the poem was written was quite a lot of money, and a five-pound note in the poet's day was quite large. It would be interesting to know how much money he thought was plenty.

The family dog, a Scottish Terrier.

They understood each other, and that is why it was such a bad thing that Felix got lost!

12. In the poem 'The Owl and the Pussy-cat' it wasn't long into their trip before the Owl sang a song to the Pussy-cat, telling her that she was lovely and beautiful. What musical instrument did he play for her?

From Quiz Beware the Lunar Light

Answer: Small guitar

The Owl apparently sang very sweetly, and the Pussy-cat was very impressed. She called him an elegant fowl, and told him 'How charmingly sweet you sing!' The guitar had been used in Europe for a long while, but only became popular in England from about 1750. It was called the 'English guitar' because it was a different shape and smaller than the Spanish guitar. Edward Lear was an accomplished musician, and he played the small 'English' guitar.

The Pussy-cat said, 'O let us be married! Too long we have tarried'. Back in Victorian times, when this poem was written, it would have been very unusual for the lady to propose marriage to the man.

From Quiz Was It the Chocolate Pudding?

Answer: "Old McDonald's Farm", called "E-I-E-I-O" in the story

26. In the poem 'The Owl and the Pussy-cat', while they were at sea the Pussy-cat started to worry about something they hadn't thought to bring on their trip. What was this special thing that one person gives to another in a ceremony?

From Quiz Beware the Lunar Light

Answer: A ring

The Owl and the Pussy-cat loved each other and the Pussy-cat had said they should be married. As soon as she said that, she started to wonder, 'But what shall we do for a ring?' You don't really have to have a ring to get married, but it is a traditional part of a wedding ceremony. Rings have been part of weddings for centuries. In England it was usual for the bride to be given a ring. It was not until the 1940s that it became more usual for men to also receive a ring as part of the ceremony.
