Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The first bed Miss White has a look at is an easy one to figure out who's snoring away in. It must be Doc, since there is a book by Hugh Lofting laying on his pillow. She pulls the covers down and she is correct. As Doc blinks and rubs his eyes, Snow White asks him "Which of these books did Hugh Lofting NOT write?" - just to see if he's awake yet. He answers correctly and Snow makes him some nice warm tea. How did Doc answer her question?
2. In the next cot, sprawled there plain as day on the wool blanket that covered him (Snow White knew this had to be Sneezy - it was obvious!), she collected the copy of the half-finished "Sneeze on Sunday". She wakes up her allergic little friend and puts the novel back on the shelf. The mystery book was written by two authors, one being Grace A. Hogarth. Snow White was surprised to see that the other writer on the cover was, or so she thought, a well-known science fiction novelist. Sneezy politely sets her straight and explains that this other author wrote in several genres of literature. So who is this unnamed co-author? Hint: Snow got a little nervous when he mentioned something about a world of witches, too!
3. The next heap of human nestled under his covers was a good bit longer than the bed was and Snow White would have been blind to not have realized it was her beloved, a dashing fellow known as Prince Charming, resting up under there. Next to where his head nested, fast asleep, she noticed a book that made her smile. Her Prince was just a dear boy and she was warmed to know that he fell asleep while reading "Like a Charm: A Novel in Voices" and the book was open to the chapter written by John Connolly. As Snow White tucked the book with the others like it in the library, what type of books did she shelve it with?
4. In the next bed, dreaming away under a cozy white comforter, was the shape of (and Snow White was sure of it) Dopey. On the nightstand was his pair of Oakley sunglasses and a rather yellowed old issue of 'Rolling Stone' magazine under a copy of a dog-eared book with the subtitle "A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream". Dopey just couldn't get enough of 'Gonzo' writer Hunter S. Thompson, you see. What was the main title of the book Dopey had been reading before he nodded off?
5. Snow White moved to the cot holding the next sleeping dwarf and found there a book by the popular Stephen King called "Night Shift", a collection of short stories. Snowy was stumped, not able to figure out which of HER dwarfs would be reading it so she tore off the blanket and roused a total stranger. "Who on Earth are you?" she sputtered. He quickly introduced himself as Shifty and said he must have taken a wrong turn on the way home from work. Warily (but with her general graciousness) she offered this shifty Shifty a biscuit. He was a smart one, too, telling her a few facts about King's "Night Shift". Which one of these is a tidbit of truth he shared with his hostess?
6. In the next bed, wildly kicking under the afghan in the midst of a seemingly rambunctious dream, rests Grumpy. Snow White knows this because on the floor next to his little slippers is "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. Grumpy loves this book and especially relates to the initially foul-tempered Ebenezer Scrooge (even though Grumpy has his kind moments, he likes to think he's the prototype of all things grouchy). Snow White lets him sleep through this dream of his and picks up the little novel since she likes it, too. She wonders how it is that a collection of words can live seemingly forever from times gone and will likely live forward for endless times to come. Just words and chapters! It's magic! By the way, how many chapters were in the original version of Dickens's "A Christmas Carol"?
7. Snow White finds Happy's bed next and, just because she must, picks up the book he was reading before he buried himself in the flannel sheets. She deduced who he was when she noticed he was reading a play (in book form) called "Happy Birthday, Wanda June" - which she found a much more appropriate title than that "Happy Hooker" business he was reading last week. Despite his size, though, Mr. Happy was an adult so she couldn't tell him what to do OR what to read, temptation aside. This new book of his looked interesting, however, and she especially liked the author. Who wrote the play "Happy Birthday, Wanda June"?
8. Don't tell anyone he's her 'pet', but fast asleep in the next cot is Snow White's favorite dwarf Bashful. He's the gentlest of the lot, as evidenced by that the two of them were up until the wee hours the night prior watching a lengthy Bette Davis Film Festival on channel 7. She picks up his book which she has read and loved. It suited him. A shy and solitary girl named Charlotte Vale, after a spot of serious trouble, emerges a lovely and charming young woman and falls madly in love on a cruise as the swan emerges in her. Miss White gives the sweet and slumbering Bashful a pat on his cottony camouflaged shoulder and stores the book away for now. What book is it?
9. By process of elimination Snow White knows that there is one dwarf left (plus the visiting Shifty, of course) who is sleeping. As it should be the sleeping one is Sleepy. He slowly peeks out from under the covers asking: "Snow, where's my book?" Snow White presents it to him after finding it down near the foot of his bed. Sleepy loves Raymond Chandler and his copy of "The Big Sleep" is his favorite, partly because its title reflects his favorite way to pass time. "It's also a very compelling story," he whines. Of these, who DOES NOT appear in Chandler's "The Big Sleep"? Sleepy knew immediately. Do you?
10. Nap time was now officially over. All the dwarfs and guests were gethered at the table, chattering happily about their books, their dreams, their hard day at work. Fresh coffee and tea, scones and lots of jam (dwarfs like their jam, it is well known) crowd their happy little table. Snow White did a head count and computed her addition of things. Seven resident dwarfs, one misplaced one, her drowsy boyfriend and herself....all were accounted for. It reminded her of a book she'd read on a stormy night some years ago. The same number of people were in the same place together until, one by one, they were all mysteriously murdered. Snow shuddered at the memory of the spooky tale. Which book [original title] is she remembering (while being grateful that none of her friends here were murderers or even capable of such ugliness)?
