Overview
A wonderfully stimulating collection of quizzes and puzzles based on the richly imaginative world of Thomas Hardy’s six best-loved novels.
There are crosswords based on the themes of love, song and dance, fairs and festivals, the weather and architecture. Anagrams conceal the names of some of Hardy’s rustic characters, while the names of his romantic protagonists are hidden in wordsearchesHardy’s famous invented place names feature in the Wessex Words puzzles and two mazes, ‘Jude’s Journey’ and ‘In the Footsteps of Tess’.
Quizzes test your memory of the novels, each one exploring a different aspect, from proposals, faces and inns to relations, food and drink and the months of the year.
If you’re stuck at any point, hopefully you may be drawn to the pleasure of reading the novels again.
The book is illustrated with Donald Maxwell’s charming line drawings from 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.
