Think you know all about York books and bookshops? Then try our fiendishly tricky quiz

Quiz

One of the small pleasures that I’ve taken from our restricted year so far has been the rare opportunity to go through novels like cheap bottles of wine. (And vice versa, of course.)

I’ve been able to vicariously experience life in the post-Civil War American South, a 1920s London alehouse and Meiji-era Japan, all while remaining physically comfortable in my Huntington home.

But all this literary globetrotting has left me missing one thing more than ever: York itself. And so we come to this week’s quiz theme.

The following 15 book-related questions are as diverse and wide-ranging as you can imagine, from Dickens to Deaver, and from the medieval period to brand new releases. The only common denominator linking them all is our fabulous city.

Hopefully it will give you one or two ideas for that ever-growing ‘to read’ list, with a distinctly local flavour. Good luck…
