Was it Rousseau? I had to read the cat massacre at uni. Vaguely remember my tutor saying something about him.
It was indeed Rousseau, who was born in Geneva but had his citizenship taken away after failing to meet the curfew in the city as a young man. Throughout his later life in France he always insisted on this citizenship as he regarded Geneva as being the source of many of his ideas on the political state. Over to you.
The piece 'Morning' by Grieg, is quite famous. What suite does it come come from and what exactly is 'Morning' depicting?
It comes from Peer Gynt. From it's original context (From Ibsen) it depicts Peer Gynt waking up stranded in the desert. So I guess a desert sunrise.
Maybe not a desert in the Saharan sense of the word. But I think it begins with him (Peer Gynt) up a tree defending himself against apes. The desert is more like a palm grove. On the coast (because of the stolen yacht). Am I getting anywhere closer ?
O.K. Which novel was jokingly called by it's author 'All that is contained within a bottle of ink' because he used up exactly one bottle of ink in writing it ? Needless to say he renamed it afterwards.
A further clue, 2 central characters are a girl and an animal who were sculpted by Antonio Rossetti in 1865.
That's the one Pete. He actually finished the ink bottle with the last word of the novel. Over to you.
In the film of James Herriot's 'All Creatures Great and Small' what was the actual (rather than fictitious) location where the fair was filmed? (Saying 'Yorkshire is not enough!)
Darrowby is the fictional location Ron, I'm looking for the actual, real-life location used in the film A clue - it is in the Dales rather than the Moors
Thirsk is where the author, James Herriot practiced and is the wrong side of the A1, Sowerby is on the right side but too far South........
