Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which title is not one of the books in Phillip Pullman's award winning trilogy "His Dark Materials"?

Answer: Southern Compass

"Northern Lights" was published under the title "The Golden Compass" in North America. The trilogy earned criticism from some religious groups for its darker content but still went on to win acclaim and awards.
2. Which Australian author wrote the young adult fantasy series "The Black Magician Trilogy"?

Answer: Trudi Canavan

Trudi Canavan's first published short story won the Aurealis Award for "Best Fantasy Short Story" in 1999. She published a prequel to this trilogy entitled "The Magician's Apprentice" in 2009.
3. In Terry Goodkind's epic "Sword of Truth" series, who was the Mother Confessor?

Answer: Kahlan

An inventive, moral series covering most of humanity's foibles, some in graphic detail.
4. David Eddings, author of numerous books including "The Belgariad" series and "The Mallorean" series, eventually admitted that he had written them in collaboration with his wife. What was her christian name?

Answer: Leigh

Well plotted quest fantasy with characters that have their own identities, humour and quirks. There are times when I think you can tell which one was writing.
5. In "The Tough Guide to Fantasyland" one of the definitions is as follows "Socks are never worn in Fantasyland. People thrust their feet, usually unwashed, straight into boots". Which children's fantasy writer wrote this book?

Answer: Diana Wynne Jones

A most irreverent guide to Fantasyland. If you intend to write a fantasy novel it is essential reading.
6. Which of these is not a character from a Michael Moorcock novel?

Answer: Jaime Lannister

Jerry Cornelius, Hawkmoon and Elric are all embodiments of Moorcock's "Eternal Champion" theme. Moorcock was named as a Grand Master of S.F. by the "Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America" in 2008.
7. Margaret Astrid Lindholm Ogden writes under the pen name Megan Lindholm. She changed her style of writing in the mid nineties and has since published several books including "The Farseer Trilogy" under what pseudonym?

Answer: Robin Hobb

Apart from the "Windsinger Trilogy" she had been writing Urban and Prehistoric fantasy. This was a move back to more conventional fantasy and was followed by "The Tawny Man" series.
8. In Stephen Donaldson's "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever" what illness did Thomas Covenant suffer from when he was in the real world?

Answer: Leprosy

In Covenant's other world the land was blighted and he eventually realised that it mirrored his condition; if he neglected his condition then the land suffered as well.
9. Which author was the first modern fantasy writer to appear on the New York Times bestseller list? His books featured members of the Ohmsford family.

Answer: Terry Brooks

Terry Brooks' first book was "The Sword of Shannara", deliberately modelled on parts of Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings". Brooks has always acknowledged his indebtedness to Tolkien.
10. Who was Raymond E Feist's co-author for the books "Daughter of the Empire", "Servant of the Empire" and "Mistress of the Empire"?

Answer: Janny Wurts

Excellent trilogy, co-authorship melds brilliantly. Feist has written several other novels and series with interlinking themes and characters, but they can be read without knowing the connections.
