British Isles Friday: British Author Collage

I had so much fun making a British Actors Collage the other week, I thought today I'd repeat the fun only with British Authors this time around! (And remember, I'm using the term British here to mean anyone from England, Scotland, Ireland or Wales!)

Here are some of my favorites:






Can you name any of them?

I'll help by listing them for you and you can figure which one is which!

Wilkie Collins
Charles Dickens
J.M. Barrie
Roald Dahl
J.R.R. Tolkien
Thomas Hardy
William Shakespeare
John Galsworthy
George Orwell
Jane Austen
Elizabeth Gaskell
Charlotte Bronte
Mary Shelley
Francis Hodgsen Burnett
J.K. Rowling
Maeve Binchy

What a list, eh? Dang they wrote some good books! But some of them are pretty creepy looking if you ask me.

For more British fun check out the links over at Joy's Book Blog.



Edited to Add: Here are the answers, in order of top to bottom, left to right:

Mary Shelley
J.M. Barrie
Charles Dickens
Charlotte Bronte

Maeve Binchy

    I recognize 6 of them without looking them up--Rowling, Dahl, Tolkien, Burnett, Shakespeare, and Austen.

    Fun! I got Shakespeare, Austen, and Dickens (I think). Apparently, I don't spend much time looking at author photos because I've read most of these authors but don't know what they look like.

    Well, I know my ladies - I think I've got all of them. But only three of the men. Sad!
