Emilie is right again.

I get to bring my mother to my home for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and her 96th birthday in January. It means a bit of travel and some setting up, which would have made this and next weekend’s posts harder to accomplish…

BUT along came Peggy in Illinois with several quizzes she created to test our knowledge of Emilie Loring’s novels. What a lot of work she put into them. Thank you, Peggy! As Emilie predicted, things have worked out marvelously.

Let’s start with “Heroes and Heroines.” The questions cover all fifty novels, and some have more than one answer, so watch out for those! (Answers are at the bottom of this post.)
