Thank you for entering the Rivertones quiz. On first looking at the answers it appeared there were several winners, but on closer scrutiny we found that some of the answers for the book titles were not absolutely correct eg Canterbury Tales and not THE Canterbury Tales. We therefore gave half points for not having the THE. This may seem a bit harsh, but it did mean we had an overall winner with 74 points – Jane Collins.<\/strong><\/p>\n
