I guess we could call this a literate litter. For those of you who want a little challenge, see if you can pair the following titles with the authors without referencing Google. No prizes awarded, just for fun.
The Three Musketeers, Pippi Longstocking, Winnie the Pooh, The Fountainhead, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Brave New World, Murder on the Orient Express, The Little Prince, The Diary of Anne Frank (ok, that’s a give-away), A Sand County Almanac, The Lady with the Dog and The Tortoise and the Hare.
