Ever wondered what author George Orwell's real name was ? Well, I expect that either Wolfman or Jock will be along to tell you shortly ! Anyway, here are the names of 20 Literary figures who have retained an element of mystique by writing under a pseudonym. All you have to do for a point is tell me their real names. There'll be one further lot after this. Good luck !
1 Anatole France 2 Anna Akhmatova 3 B Traven 4 Dame Rebecca West 5 Flann O'Brien 6 Frank O'Connor 7 George Eliot 8 George Orwell 9 George Sand 10 Henry Green 11 Horace 12 Isak Dinesen 13 Janet Frame 14 John Le Carre 15 John Wyndham 16 Katherine Mansfield 17 Lewis Carroll 18 Lewis Grassic Gibbon 19 Mark Twain 20 Maya Angelou
Bonus question 21. (for 1pt) Who wrote under the names of Currer, Acton and Ellis Bell ?
