Book: The Pocket Jane Austen Quizzes and Puzzles

A Jane Austen Puzzler’s Paradise

Use your ingenuity to find country homes, city streets, and servants hidden in wordsearch puzzles. Uncover quotations to solve crossword puzzles—one for each of the six novels—and play the name game to see how many of the 156 quiz questions you can answer, from the color of Eleanor Tilney’s beads to the name of Mr. Darcy’s mother; from the town where the Miss Musgroves went to school to the month in which Emma first saw the sea.

The Victorian line drawings, which are also puzzles, are by Hugh Thomson and Charles Brock, from editions of Jane Austen’s novels published in the 1890s.

All the answers can be found at the back of the book, but if any elude you, hopefully they may prove a spur to a little rereading.
