Overview
A wonderfully stimulating collection of quizzes and puzzles based on the richly imaginative world of Thomas Hardy's six best-loved novels.
This Hardy-themed quiz book includes: crosswords based on love, song and dance and architecture; anagrams concealing the names of some of Hardy's rustic characters; and wordsearches hiding the names of romantic protagonists.
Quizzes test your memory of his six best-loved novels: Far from the Madding Crowd, The Return of the Native, The Mayor of Casterbridge, The Woodlanders, Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure. Each quiz explores a different aspect - from proposals, faces and inns to relations, food and drink.
Hardy's famous invented place-names feature in the Wessex Words puzzles and two mazes, 'Jude's Journey' and 'In the Footsteps of Tess'.
Included inside are charming line drawings from Donald Maxwell's The Landscape of Thomas Hardy, published in 1928, the year of Hardy's death. The artist discussed the views his drawings depict with Hardy himself. The cover shows a wood engraving by English artist Vivien Massie Gribble, created for a 1926 edition of Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles.
