What's that? You would love to be well-read and know so much more about all kinds of literary works? But just don't have the time to pore over volumes of best-known lore?You just got lucky. We were helping a friend study for the contestant quiz of the Jeopardy! Game show when we realized we had accumulated enough material to help out almost anyone. A student, game show contestant, or curious reader. And it's all formatted in a quick and easy way that game show watchers enjoy.

You'll love the diversity of this little study guide! It covers the most famous books, authors, poems (and nursery rhymes) of all time. From Aeschylus to Zane Grey, from the Iliad to Peter Pan, and from Hester Prynne to James Bond.

See if you can answer these:

• Who said, "To thine own self be true," and "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"? • Why did Hester Prynne wear the scarlet letter in Nathaniel Hawthorne's book? • What is Homer famous for? • In The Divine Comedy, who served as guide in the Inferno? • In which Dickens novel is young Pip introduced to decaying old Miss Havisham? • Who created Frankenstein (in a literary sense)? • According to T.S. Elliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, who's not there?

The KNOWLEDGE BLASTER! Series compresses a great mountain of available information into easily digestible morsels. You'll find the books are patterned in an efficient question-and-answer mode, stressing simplicity, brevity, and clarity.

You can use this reference work as a launch pad to propel yourself into more in-depth studies. However, if you find this little study guide provides all the information you need, then consider your knowledge...

Blasted!

We wish you the best of luck in your quest for knowledge in this fascinating subject. 'Bye now.

And, oh yes, buy now!
