This leaves three of my most clever, so hints:

#5 is a novel by H.P. Lovecraft, one of the few novels he did, for he was a short fiction master. After the word "surrounding" is an abreviation, a reverse Latin, and a translation which makes a name.

#6 Famous novel and movie with songs by Neil Diamond, several of which became hits. You have the meaning of a name from the Bible, good friend to Isreal's most famous king. The Name of a famous explorer, translated my way. Straightforward.

#8 Will be harder, horror story by King. If your stew is not rich and hearty but watery it is ---------.

Luck!

5. Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family (?)
6. Jonathan Livingston Seagull

[Niamh]

8)thinner?

[Pendragon]

5. Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family (?)
6. Jonathan Livingston Seagull

#5 Oooh, close, but wrong novel! You read the clues after "Surrounding" wrong!

#6 Great call! Great Call! :thumbs_up I really didn't think anyone would get that one.

I'm gonna give you another go on #5 and not reveal it. You are so close you must get it! You must! :nod:

[Pendragon]

8)thinner?

Of Course! Thinner, the novel about the Gypsy curse! You wouldn't have got it without the hint, but still, it's a good call! :thumbs_up

Now if anyone can get #5, which as I say, Bouquin is darn close, but wrong novel. The clues after the word "Surrounding" must be deciphered exactly for the name, or go to a HP Lovecraft Book List and check for one that matches... if you wish to http://www.industreal.spb.ru/smiles/scull.gifhttp://www.industreal.spb.ru/smiles/scull.gifhttp://www.industreal.spb.ru/smiles/scull.gif

[Pendragon]

5. The Case of Charles Dexter Ward

Y-E-E-E-S! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/skelcoff.gif


After "Surrounding" was "Chas" nickname for "Charles"--
"Right" the "reverse Latin" for "Dexter"--
"Division" is a "Ward"

So "Charles Dexter Ward"

"The Circumstances Surrounding" = "The Case of" + "Charles Dexter Ward"

Imagine how hard it was for me to let that one go...http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Shades.gif

[Pendragon]

Only three left and time for what I hate, hints, glimpses into my devious little mind as I make up these puzzles which I enjoy making more than you enjoy solving most likely. Shall we go into the final three. Two are rather mundane, a single line or two should jog your memory but the first is a locked door, at least I suspect so.

4. Concerning Uncured Arches: Now, here the word “Concerning” must represent two words, giving you a first name and a direction. You think this cannot happen. OK. Here, the word “Concerning” represents four words: “in the manner of”, which would help were the novel Cold Creek Manor, now wouldn’t it? But remember: two words: name, direction. A farmer can tell you what to call anything that is uncured, such as tobacco or wood. Every home has arches on them unless you have a flat roof. Now put it together, ya greenhorn!

12. Low Table with Mirror of a Light Hue—Perhaps
Ecclesiastics 1:2

20. Rescue from Bondage
Dueling Banjos

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/dunno.gif

[PabloQ]

Actually they are quite fun to solve although if you have to clue us, your references must be way too sophisticated for us, like number 4.
12 Vanity Fair
20 Deliverance

[Pendragon]

Actually they are quite fun to solve although if you have to clue us, your references must be way too sophisticated for us, like number 4.
12 Vanity Fair
20 Deliverance

Well, you are correct on the two books you have, which as I figured would only take the single line memory joggers. And you could have got to that point from my original clue, it became obvious after the little jog. For example, people forget a small dresser table is a vanity, but mention the book of Ecclesiastics and "bingo" the lightbulb goes off! :idea: A "Rescue from Bondage", my goodness, I can hear them singing "Deliverance" from the "Prince of Eqypt" video about Moses, but to most people Burt Renyold's movie about the book and that "dueling banjos" will jog memory.

But, yeah, I encrypted the first so hard it would take a codebreaker to get in. Yet I explained and I really do nothing by accident. You could have got it from the explaination.

4. Concerning Uncured Arches: Now, here the word “Concerning” must represent two words, giving you a first name and a direction. You think this cannot happen. OK. Here, the word “Concerning” represents four words: “in the manner of”, which would help were the novel Cold Creek Manor, now wouldn’t it? But remember: two words: name, direction. A farmer can tell you what to call anything that is uncured, such as tobacco or wood. Every home has arches on them unless you have a flat roof. Now put it together, ya greenhorn!

"Concerning" needs to be two words, a name and and direction. As I said, I don't do things by accident. Your name was right there. Anne

How do you use "and" and make it mean "concerning"? Add "of". the direction—which I also had used in the explanation as an example: OK. Here, the word “Concerning” represents four words: “in the manner of”, which would help were the novel Cold Creek Manor, now wouldn’t it?

Now you have: Anne of

You really don’t need the rest, you know the book now, but we go on. .

A farmer can tell you what to call anything that is uncured, such as tobacco or wood. (It’s GREEN) ya greenhorn! (See—I do not leave you clueless! I tried!) .

Every home has arches on them unless you have a flat roof. (An arched roof is a GABLED roof) (I trained in carpentry)

Anne of Green Gables

Could you get that from my original clues? Yes. Uncured Arches might have worked out to Green Gables and only Anne is of (or from) there.

So I claim a win!

[Pendragon]

13) more or lessNope, we aren't pointed in that direction, and I never heard of that book lying on anyone's counter... And this is another good time to mention I do little or nothing by accident, remember?

[Pendragon]

[Pendragon]

You still have three: But you have the original and the hints. Good luck. Send me book titles. I'll work on a new list meanwhile if you don't.

[Pendragon]

The Final three:

11. Practicing Archery In the Rain My clue was: #11) So what do you need to do so? Duh? Archery? In the Rain? You need a BOW! A Rainbow! and "Rainbow" is a book by DH Lawrence, so I didn't dig it up!


13. >< (That’s your clue… heh) My clue was: #13) I already gave you a really good clue on 2/26/08's post but I'll remind you again that these are points... (From 2/26 Nope, we aren't pointed in that direction, and I never heard of that book lying on anyone's counter... And this is another good time to mention I do little or nothing by accident, remember?
02-25-2008 02:41 PM ) Two points counter to each other-- "Point Counter Point" book by Alous Huxley, on top 100 books of the century.

15. He knew the future only a little. My hint: #15) Wasn't it Nostrodamus that knew the future, presumeably to the end? Book: "Nostroro" (not as long as Nostrodamus, see, get it?) by Joseph Conrad, again famous author, e-book availible.

My point is, I am trying not to get books that are outside of your reach on purpose, OK?

Now. These books are by very famous authors. Furthermore, electronic copies of the books are readily available on the net, so I am not pulling obscure books off the dusty shelves of time. I have not confined myself to American authors, so I can’t be accused of prejudice. However, there will be little direct translation, and more puns. So, look out, Snoopy, here she comes!

no.2- Greed? (money doesnt grow on trees- people can be greedy for money...)

#2) I think you are reading the clue backwards-- the insiuation is that this deadly sin does grow on trees-- yet the Bible says it goes... None of my authors should be far away, I made certain of that!

[Pendragon]

Is it the Lifted Veil by George Eliot?

#12) http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Yes.gif We have a Winnah! Of couse the groom has to lift the veil brfore he can kiss the bride! All of the sterotypes of brides give her a veil, even in cartoons! I was begining to wonder! Someone should have guessed "Lift Veil" without even knowing if there was a book! Good show, Niamh, even got the author's name, more famous for Middlemarch, of course...

[Niamh]

thought i'd get that one wrong as well! Cant seem to get my head around these ones as much as the earlier rounds. must be loads of books i've never heard of or if i have, never showed much interest in them so i dont think of them...

Look, this whole list has me sick. I am going to give the answers:


#2) The Trees of Pride by GK Chesterson (Pride goes before a fall, it doesn't grow on trees)

#3) The British Barbarians by Grant Allen (As I said, don't tell a refined Englishman he was once a Barbarian!)

#6) The Man Who Could Work Miricles by HG Wells (Not a charlatan! He could!)

#9) Jill the Reckless by PG Wodehouse (Wild child you called almost everything else despite grave hints)

#11)They Call Me Carpenter by Upton Sinclair(I know one gospel song that names Jesus as "The Carpenter from Galilee", and another that starts "...a Carpenter who lived in Galilee...")

#14)Heather and Snow by George McDonald(Isnae white heather a Highland flower? Isnae frrrozen wather crrrytals snow?)

#15) The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerld(a smoke wagon or shooting iron in gangster language is also a GAT, which he had a huge, large, GREAT one, and he started the sentence with BY, and said it was his monkier, or name: THE GREAT GATSBY)

#17) Precaution by James Fennimore Cooper(is a safegaurd)

#18) Out of Nowhere into Nothing by Sherwood Anderson (would be as described, yes?)

I will stive to do better on the next list sometime later.

#15.) Were the lions real or the childrens imagnation? I told someone to think of where lions live. That apparently went unnoticed, but it is there. Look for whoever guess "Narnia". Then I told you it was a famous sci fi short story.

OK. Lions live mainly in Africa, although there are Asiaistic lions. They live on grassy plains, flat areas called "The Veldt", story by Ray Bradbury...

#20) Vilified and vitiated (Thesaurus wasn't a dinosaur, you know...) Use of a good Thesaurus (the on-line one is the one I use) is essential...

(Vilified = Insulted) (Vitiated = Injured) The Isulted and the Injured by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Vilified should have been easy enough to translate...

Oh, I thought that Edgar might have been a character in the play. That is something from The Shake that I haven't read.

The time frame fit and I saw the word wreck... and thought of a ship wreck. I didn't expect it to be a correct answer... but still it was possible.
