Welcome to:

Title Mania!

Title Mania is a simple game which should be a lot of fun! NO peeking at titles and authors, this brain teaser is intended to rack the old grey cells: entirely from your own memory!

Simply give the title of a book which begins with the last letter of the title before it: *

Ex: The Good Earth:
Answer:How Green Was My Valley.
Next: A book title which starts with Y

* We'll ignore A, An, and The in titles for this game.
** You may choose to IGNORE any title ending in Y and take the next letter to the Y instead (Pat rule!)
*** You may ignore numbers and take the next letter back..

How far can we go?

Let's find out.

Enjoy!

Gumtree I thought I successfully removed the post but evidently not so - it was after I posted I realized I did not have the complete title and the title would not fit - I hit what I thought were the buttons to remove the post

Barbara: Not to worry - there are dozens of books about the Kelly Gang and one is sure to be entitled 'The Kelly Gang'. I was just hoping for something new to add to my Kelly collection.
