Too much emphasis on Dahl. Not exactly "literature".

Wonderfully done quiz! And I disagree with slamb. Just because the target audience is younger does not mean it's not literature.

Thanks jencon117 and Niniane! We'll see if I come up with enough ideas for another one - it's hard coming up with clues/topics that are relatively unique and not super obscure or repetitive. I'm always open for suggestions.

Nice quiz. I'm curious to know who the Banks family are. The only one I can think of lives in Bel Air.
