Classic: Atticus?
Non-Fiction: P.D.James
Book Bag: Clive Barker
I should know the others but I don't.
I should've known the PD James one--I've read enough of her books--but I didn't.
I do, however, know that the English patient is neither English by birth nor by marriage nor by residency. He was an unmarried Hungarian count who lay dying in Italy.
The authors one is making me crazy, but I can't bring myself to cheat and Google it...
Children's -- Gone-Away Lake
Classics -- Atticus
Book Club -- Italy
Tough one this week.
Children's: The Gone-Away Lake
Classics: Atticus
Non-Fiction: P.D. James
I should know Book Club, but I can't remember. I don't know Authors, but why on earth would someone need so many pseudonyms? It sounds like she has something to hide.
Classics: Atticus, that's all I've got.
Classics: Atticus
Obviously last week's questions were a fluke. :-)
Children's: Gone Away Lake
Classics: Atticus
Nonfiction: PD James, I thinnk?
Authors: JAYNE ANN KRENTZ.
(I just wrote that in capitals because I have been waiting for years and years for that information to be valuable to me and NOW AT LAST IT IS. My first job was at a romance novel bookstore, and Jayne Ann Krentz had fifty thousand books shelved under twenty different names and it was impossible to find them. I even wrote a little poem about it.)
Jenny, Can we please, please read your poem?!!
Book Club; Italy? Loved that book. :-)

Collectively, we got them all!
Harriet, one reason for a plethora of pseudonyms is that in the olden days authors were told that more than one book each year wouldn't sell, so prolific writers published additional titles under psuedonyms.
...No. My poem is stupid. I was only sixteen.
Aw, Jenny. But you're right, the internet is a better place without the poems of 16-year-olds. Well, most 16-year-olds. There's probably some Keats.
