Quiz about A Midsummer Nights Faery Tale

A Midsummer Night's Faery Tale Quiz

A fairly-easy (I'd say) quiz on one of the best faery books I've read, by Wendy Froud and Terri Windling. I might make quizzes on the sequels, "The Winter Child" and "The Faeries of Spring Cottage," so look for them!

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Under what kind of tree is Sneezle's feather-lined nest?

Answer: Oak

Sneezle, a tree-root faery, lives in a nest under an oak, but then later on (maybe for the winter) he has a house.

2. How old is Sneezle?

Answer: Two hundred

Sneezle is a mere child in faery years.

3. One of the goblin berries Sneezle picks up is red. What color is the other one?

Answer: White

One is "red as blood" and the other is "white as milk."

4. What kind of faery pours mist from silver buckets in preparation for Midsummer Night?

Answer: Sylphs

Sylphs, being delicate and ethereal, fly over the trees pouring mist from silver buckets.

5. Of the musicians Sneezle meets, which one has the shaggy hair?

Answer: The drummer

The percussionist is short and stout, the piper is long and thin, and there is no fiddler.

6. Who tricks Sneezle into eating the fake faery cakes?

Answer: Rianna

Sneezle is very disappointed with himself after that. He thinks that he fell for the oldest faery trick like a gullible farm boy.

7. Is Uncle Starbucket a tree-root faery?

Answer: No

If you think of Starbucket as Sneezle's uncle, he would probably be a tree-root faery. However, I don't think he really IS Sneezle's uncle, and he most definitely is a troll.

8. What color is Oberon's unicorn?

Answer: Black

Oberon summons his steed with a single word in the Old Language. His mount is black, while Titania's is white.

9. Out of the tailors, which one said that their job took the most skill?

Answer: The Hat-and-Wig maker

Everyone thinks THEY should be the one to go instead of Twig. The Hat-and-Wig maker says his job takes the most skill, the Senior Seamstress says she is the oldest, and a pair of modeling maidens say that they should, as they're far more beautiful than Twig. Finally, it is the Royal Tailor who claps his hands and says that there's no use in arguing.

10. Fill in the blank in the middle of Sneezle's name: Sneezlewort Rootmuster _________ Boggs the Seventh.

Answer: Rowanberry

He says this when he introduces himself to Twig. And then he adds, "But my friends just call me Sneezle."

11. Who made Truesight?

Answer: Wayland

Wayland is the famous faery smith. At first Truesight was just a bent and rusty thing, but the mouse handmaiden fixed it, saying that every hero must have a sword.

12. On Sneezle's way to the Heart of the Wood, the trail splits into several paths. Which one leads to the goblin bog?

Answer: The broad and sunlit one

The straight and narrow road leads to the human world, and the one with moss and mistletoe is the one Sneezle takes. There are also only three paths, and the dark and curving one isn't in the book.

13. After Sneezle kindly cuts off the deer/handmaiden's head, she gives him some protective water that tastes like what?

Answer: Wildflowers and honey

Sneezle says that he'd like some more of it, but the faery laughs and says that it's quite enough for a young fellow.

14. What did Sneezle have to give the "Guardian of the Sacred Grove at the Heart of Old Oak Wood" in exchange for Titania's Midsummer crown?

Answer: Truesight

At first, when Sneezle asks what he has to do to get the crown, the Guardian says, "Climb seven iron mountains, wear out seven pairs of iron shoes, eat seven loaves of iron bread, then come back and I'll reconsider."

15. What does Rianna try to turn Sneezle into?

Answer: A mosquito

The other three choices are what Rianna muses on. But then she decides that Sneezle, being "pesky" will make a lovely mosquito.

16. What color are Oberon's eyes when Twig gives him the ivy crown?

Answer: Green

Oberon's eyes change color depending on his mood. When he is angry, they turn a stormy gray or black, and when he is happy or tender, they turn colors like green or gold.

17. Sneezle slept through Midsummer Night after he went on the quest for Titania's crown. True or false?

Answer: True

Poor Sneezle used up the last wish by saying, "I wish I could just take a nap." He didn't mean to do it, but it couldn't be helped, and so he missed Midsummer Night all over again.

18. Twig left Sneezle a note on an oak leaf. She used the juice of which of the following berries as ink?

Answer: Blackberry

Twig wrote that she had tried and tried to wake Sneezle, but then had left for the ceremony, since she couldn't.

19. What color hair does the Lady of the Wood have?

Answer: Red

The Lady has red hair, and the Lord has raven, like Oberon.

20. Which wish did the Lord and Lady of the Wood give back to Sneezle?

Answer: The hazelnut

This was the last wish, the one that Sneezle used up by saying that he wished he could sleep. Since it was an unintentional wishing, the Lord and Lady of the Wood gave it back to him.
