All my answers are only guesses and are open to being amended. Thanks.

6 is uncle Quentin
25 is Frank McCourt
26 Paradise Lost
28 Miranda
36 Sebastian Faulks
45 Miss Havisham

will keep trying but that's my first shot!

If your answer to 24 is right then 23 is Ian Fleming

35. Twelfth Night
36. Lord of the Flies
37. Miss Haversham

Thanks so far - will keep checking this site (in between preparing a new presentation!!) for your very kind answers. Thanks so much - am very impressed with your answers.

39 Lord of the Flies
1 Dylan Thomas (wild gues)

sorry, can't think of any more!

8 Mr Knightely

3 is Mr Toad (Wind in the Willows)
7 is Arakis
9 is the Unseen University
37 is Jane and Michael Banks
45 is Miss Faversham (I think. picturing the film now)

Your answers are mostly corect, I think, but Milton did not write Under Milkwood (that was Dylan Thomas) - can't remember what he did write though. Also I think the chocolate bar with the golden ticket was just called the Wonka bar.

3)Toad of Toad Hall (i think!)

Lucy123, thanks for the correction on Milton but the chocolate bar is most definitely Wonka's Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight - just about summarises my reading capabilities!

Double checked it on this web-site

www.roalddahlfans.com/books/char.php

(not sure how to do links)

Isn't the Milton one Paradise Lost then?

righty - I must be thinking of the film. What are these for anyway?

www. - yes it is Paradise Lost (it was definately in my brain somewhere). And me an English teacher.

43 is Dickon

Lucy123, it is for my daughter's school - family quiz and you win a book token (wow!, yes, just one prize). It is for all family and friends to enter and I just want to give it the best shot I can. It says you can use friends, libraries, internet, etc. to find the answers so I thought the only place I would bother asking/looking was Mumsnet.

I think you are right about the book ~v~ film. The film was called Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (for some reason Charlie was was thought to be a racist name) and the chocolate bar in the film was the Wonka Bar but I need the answers for the books, rather than the films.

Thanks.

I think 27 is Esther Summerson, Bumblelion.

Having looked at other people's answers, my number 3 is an alternative...

3. Gordon, from Thomas the Tank Engine
4. Quentin Kirrin 12)Elrond 25)Frank McCourt 39)Lord of the Flies

1 Richard Llewllyn
8 Mr Knightley
23 Ian Fleming
25 Fank McCourt

28 Miranda
35 Tewlfth Night
36 Sebastian Faulks

45 Miss haversham
48 The Bad Beginning (a Series of Infortunate Events)

18 is Flat Stanley

32 - Goodnight Mr Tom? (Sorry, doing this in bits, up & down the answers!

41 was Mary I think (can't remember her 2nd name though.)

Wow, thank you. I am very impressed.

Only waiting for answers to the following (and am looking at Google - am I allowed to say that) to see if I can find some answers.

Still need ... 18, 29, 30, 32, 41 and 43.

I think we are all doing very well (well you lot are, anyway) and deserve a pat on the back.

10 Boggis, Bean and Bunce?

19 Gene Kemp (just asked little sis)

Lennox!

That's my lot.

Bumblelion, I just did 18 - Flat Stanley!
