Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This land, created by J.R.R. Tolkien, gives a home to such creatures as hobbits, elves, dwarves, ents, etc. (as well as humans!)

Answer: Middle-Earth

"The Lord of the Rings" is one of my favorite books. I can't wait for "The Two Towers" to come out!
2. This land was created by a lion named Aslan and could be accessed from our world by a wardrobe.

Answer: Narnia

Everyone should remember reading "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" by C.S. Lewis when they were kids!
3. Although this land and its surroundings were featured in a series of books by L. Frank Baum, everyone remembers the movie-in Technicolor!-of a young girl, her dog, a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion. Need I say more?

Answer: Oz

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz! Watch out for the poppies!
4. This world exists underneath England, and you must literally fall into it! It was discovered by a girl who followed a rabbit and ended up encountering not only a Mad Hatter, but also a Cheshire cat that could disappear at will.

Answer: Wonderland

Be careful how you eat and drink things here. Size does matter!
5. This continental island exists entirely underwater and shares a name with its capital city. The original legends were written by Plato in the 4th century, and its actual existence is disputed to this day.

Answer: Atlantis

An interesting fact: when men visited the island, they were first betrothed to the queen, then killed and mummified and used as decoration. I suppose when you don't have many stores around . . .
6. This city was the capital of the kingdom of Logres in southern England. It was the home of a king and queen, a roundtable, and not to mention a powerful wizard.

Answer: Camelot

It was first written about anonymously in the 13th century, but Sir Thomas Malory made it more famous in 1485 when he wrote "Le Morte D'arthur". Even Twain carried on the legends with "A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court."
7. This fictional Rhode Island town created in a book by John Updike is better remembered by a film of the same name in which Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer all played.

Answer: Eastwick

These Witches of Eastwick got rid of the devilish Darryl Van Horne, played by Jack Nicholson.
8. This next place is an amusement park on Isla Nublar off the coast of Costa Rica. It hosts 15 different species of dinosaurs, cloned from dinosaur blood DNA from prehistoric mosquitoes. The book was written by Michael Crichton, but the movies that followed are more well-known.

Answer: Jurassic Park

Not exactly a place to bring the kids. Watch out for the raptors!
9. This town on the banks of the Hudson River was created by Washington Irving. The story features Ichabod Crane, who lives in the movie, but is killed by a flying head in the book.

Answer: Sleepy Hollow

Ichabod's body was tragically never found. He haunts the old schoolhouse to this day. Oh, and some of you may have noticed that it's not actually an imaginary place, but seeing as how it was the location for a dead Hessian who throws his head at people, it's gonna stay. :)
10. This last place is a school of witchcraft and wizardry. It can be reached by train at platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross station. (Just run towards the wall!)

Answer: Hogwarts

Before you go, don't forget to stop by Diagon Alley for your supplies! The entrance is a certain brick in the Leaky Cauldron Pub in London.
