How about Conrad's Heart of Darkness for #3?
Welcome to the forum, mate! WINNER! I wanted to use Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart, except it actually has the word "Heart" in it!Quote:

Good show for the newbuie!
FINAL THREE MAJOR HINT TIME!
#4 Counterclockwise-- OK what is another word for this in, say, Old English?
#7 Sounds like you might be a large member of the canine family.
OK. We've established that is a wolf.
Now I said "Sounds Like" has nothing to do with the clue, it means the clue "sounds similiar to" you might be a wolf. Say that aloud and see if the title of an old epic poem, legend, whatever, book length, doesn't come out of it. Remember, SAY IT ALOUD! = Beowulf listed as anonyamous
#13 What are the Orcs called when first mentioned in the Hobbit? And what is a costermonger? Where would you find one? Put it all together. That is, what an orc was originally called and where would you find a costermonger?
And MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU.....http://www.smileyville.net/aiwan/pardon.gif
You got 'er, Sam! She married Isaac, and when she meet him, she lit off, (got down from) a camel!Quote:

The Orcs = Goblin
Turn Costermonger = a person who sells fruit or vegetables from a cart at a market
Ergo: =The Goblin Market by Christina Rossitti.

I felt sure someone would get #4 , but they haven't, so I'll give it to you.
Counterclockwise = Widershins by Oliver Onions
To go widershins around a church, for example, was very bad luck. This closes out Baker's Dozen #5. :lol: :lol: :lol:
