Index Biography #52: Prize a book March 31, 2018
Author: Beach Combing | in : Modern , trackback
The Index Biography is a quiz pioneered by this blog and introduced in a previous post. The creator must find a biography of a famous individual from history, they must turn to the index and write down eight peripheral facts about the individual’s life. We offered up previously here Sheridan le Fanu and Joseph Stalin (he of ripe banana fame) and these might stand as examples. The reader on the other hand must identify who is being described. The prize is a copy of a bizarre second hand book sent via Amazon: the last three prizes went to the US, to Australia and to the Netherlands (note sometimes I am a bit slow to get them ordered…) So who is this? drbeachcombing AT gmail DOT com [this chap is someone I instinctively like, though, I’ve tried not to]
