Teething Out Pry (famous British PM)

Er, I posted my answer first... How do we resolve this? I do think that we got the answer pretty much at the same time but it just so happens that I was one sec earlier to post than you. I don't think it's fair to have one of us withdraw the next anagram.

Crikey, I'm sorry! I hadn't even noticed! Well, even if it was only by one minute, you did beat me to it, so its only fair your one takes precendence, particularly because mine seems to have ground the operation to a halt.

[Heathcliff]

Yes. It is close to a halt.

For crystal's I've come up with something like Fairy Tail.
Yer. I know that is the wrong tail but that's where I go blank.

Yep, it's Fairy Tail (not tale) alright. Pretty cool anime, by the creator of Groove Adventure Rave, if it rings any bell to you. :)

[Heathcliff]

I'm actually right? Wow. I just guessed.

Well, I guess we should work on Lokasenna's.

[Heathcliff]

Clue please, Maxi? Can you explain aces?

[Maximilianus]

Sure, dear javelin http://smiles.kolobok.us/personal/hi.gif

About aces:

A flying ace or fighter ace is a military aviator credited with shooting down several enemy aircraft during aerial combat. The actual number of air victories required to officially qualify as an "ace" has varied, but is usually considered to be five or more.

Now, the gentleman in question was an ace of the highest rank, and has been officially credited with 80 confirmed air combat victories, though many have assured that they were quite more. He was European, but not British.

We can fairly say that an ace is like a perfect javelin that can't fly any better. I hope all this helps to solve the riddle http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/declare.gif

[Tarvaa]

i third it

[kiki1982]

I fourth it.

[Maximilianus]

Wow, four of us racking our brains :p

[Jazz_]

That's quite an achievement Annamaria...

I think I'm even further away from an answer than before :confused5:

[Annamariah]

Oh sorry, I haven't been online for a few days. This clue should be a dead giveaway: The novel is named after this person.

[Maximilianus]

Wow, four of us racking our brains :p

:rolleyes: Count me too. That makes five of us.

[Annamariah]

Cancer wired beet (An important person in a novel that doesn't reveal the first name of the protagonist)

So, the Anagram is the name of a person so important in the novel that the whole book was named after them.

[Whistle]

I really can't figure this one out...:confused5:

[Jazz_]

Still can't get it...

Perhaps the author's nationality? Or the date it was published?

[Annamariah]

Really? I thought it would be easy after the last hint. The name of the novel (and it's a famous one too) is the first name of the person whose name is the answer to the anagram. The character is a female, and so is the author of the book.

[Tarvaa]

i am stabbing in the dark, and reaching only half way into where I am stabbing...

is it Rebecca (?something?)

[Gerda13]

I second it.It's Rebecca De Winter

[Annamariah]

I second it.It's Rebecca De Winter

Yes, Rebecca de Winter from the famous novel Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier.

There is also a great musical adaptation of the book.

a famous British philosopher - and in my opinion, someone who had a superb command of English.

[Jazz_]

Bertrand Russell


A Diehard Envoy Hurt - also a philosopher (and poet/author)

I thought this was pretty easy... maybe people just haven't looked for a while :)

I included his middle name... without it:
Unearth Rye Oh

He was an American (poet/author) who supported abolitionism...

[Jazz_]

I don't think anyone's looking here anymore :(

Anteaters Hooted Hither (the story of a race with a twist ;))
Nice clue too :D though it gives me one little doubt http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/scratch_one-s_head.gif Is it a race in the sense of a competition, or a race in the sense of the ethnic group someone belongs to? http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/scratch_one-s_head.gif

[Jazz_]

A competition - sorry for the ambiguity ;)

[Maximilianus]

Oh, it's okay http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/don-t_mention.gif Now I'll have to get the brains to work :p

Yeap, two documents narrating the adventures of a famous mariner and conqueror, his followers and his children. Parts of the stories may be called fanciful, but as a whole they are believed to contain substantial historical facts.

[ReadingElmo]

???
Vassa Landing????

[Maximilianus]

Nope... but you got two things right. The starting "V" and the word "land", though the latter goes in the first word of the title, and not in the second.
