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.

An ingenious and charming little book, inspired by the plays of the inimitable William Shakespeare, filled with quizzes and puzzles to test your knowledge and refresh your memory.

Inspired by the plays of the inimitable William Shakespeare, the quizzes and puzzles in this ingenious little book are designed to test your knowledge and refresh your memory.

The focus is on familiar passages – it is always a pleasure to come across what is known, and loved – but there is also plenty here to test the most knowledgeable.

Each crossword is based on an individual play, with every clue being a quotation from that play. Some of the quizzes are composed of quotations with a missing word, while others ask questions on a variety of topics in the plays. Each name game is based on the dramatis personae of a particular play and each wordsearch has a theme: heroes, heroines, place names and fools and fairies.

‘Shakespeare one gets acquainted with without knowing how,’ Jane Austen wrote. ‘It is part of every Englishman’s constitution. His thoughts and beauties are so spread abroad that one touches them everywhere, one is intimate with him by instinct.’

Let this charming little book put that claim to the test.
