That one is Agatha Christie... But I'm afraid Hercule Poirot was Belgian.

John Le Carre.

And yes, Poiroit is Belgian

didn't stop me from guessing him as a Frenchman on a train.

Grey_Wolf · 11-08-2005, 04:02 PM

Correct both of you.

. And Yeah, I actually thought that Poirot was French. Thanks for correcting me.

James Clavell (Shogun, King Rat, Whirlwind); (god, there's too many of them) Jane Austen? a Bronte sister? Or do you mean a modern author writing 19th century style?

And the last, Dickens?

Lotesse · 11-08-2005, 05:29 PM

Is the "about a dog" one Jack London?

trolls' bane · 11-08-2005, 10:59 PM

I think you're right!
And that "Through a piece of furniture" could be the author of the extremely boring book Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll? (Hey! They spelt my middle name right! Right on!

)

Yeah, I know. I saw the answer, but if no one had answered, that's what I would have answered.
