So this post was supposed to go up last Friday, the 7th of February. Ooops! I’d gone on a mini-break, a stay-cay of sorts. As promised since, I’m using today to make up for it!

The answer to the trivia question posted here is:

c) Winnie the Pooh

Our famous bear named after Manitoba’s capital, Winnipeg, is one of the many anthropomorphized animals in the Hundred Acre Woods. There is also a talking piglet, a rabbit, a depressed donkey sans tail, and a bouncy tigger-tiger. Oh! Can’t forget the kangaroo and her joey, Kanga and Roo!

And now on to this – last – week’s trivia…

Harper Lee only wrote one published novel – To Kill A Mockingbird. I personally think this is a tragedy of its own.

Despite claims of racism in the novel Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain is the first American author to give black and white people the same social footing.

Jane Austen became terrifically jealous of Walter Scott after his novel Waverly was published. She disapproved of his working in fiction, as he’d already gained notoriety as a poet.

William Butler Yeats had a passion for the paranormal, and joined a research group called The Ghost Club. This club also included other literary members, such as Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, over the years.

At first, Poe didn’t want a raven to recite Nevermore like a broken record. What bird was in his original plan? A parrot!

That’s it ’til next month folks… if you’ve got a piece of trivia, please feel free to get in touch and I’ll post it with credit to you!
