The Cryptic Classics quiz
Quizzes
|
Progress: 1 of 10 questions
This quiz requires a little double think. The question is a cryptic clue to the title of an English classic. It would be too easy if I gave you the titles to choose from. Instead you will have to work out the title and then select the correct author. Good Luck!
