Okay, the object here is to name the Classic Work of Literature from its first and last words.
A few ground rules: 1) That's the first word of chapter 1, or the first--and last--spoken words of a play (no prologues or scene descriptions allowed); 2) If the first word's a small one, I've added one or two more to make things a bit less arduous (and not quite so dry); 3) Only works in English (so we don't have translators haggling over the results).
A few items--Alice In Wonderland, Tom Sawyer and Death of a Salesman come to mind--had to be disqualified since they're pretty much gimmes from the get-go. And I've also eschewed those two giants of Modernism, "Stately/ Yes" and "April/ Shantih." :)
Anyway, on with the show...and by all means feel free to contribute your own!
