Come to think of it . . . I fail to recall the mention of the Summer Solstice–or any solstice–in the Canon. We have equinoctial gales, but no solstice. No Druids either.
Well, shoot – I just sent mine in. Those speedy answerers!
And you did well! Thank you!
Thank *you*!
While I don’t remember any Druids in the Canon, either, there *was* that copy of Origin of Tree Worship…
An excellent quiz (and one I could not answer), but one quibble regarding Question 14. As Steven Doyle discovered, there was, indeed, a Long Island Caves Mystery in the 1890s — not geological caves, but underground bunkers which the press dubbed caves. Following up on Steve’s discovery, I researched local descriptions of the case and even determined the approximate location of one of the caves. I hope to have this material printed in a pamphlet by January.
Thank you “Dash”. We look forward to the new publication and your “bunker-buster” findings!
