Yay I get to pick the easiest one!
Slytherin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. The four houses of Hogwarts, that is.
Jacob Marley, Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come.
Dorothy, the Lion, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man
Four Past Midnight:
The Langoliers
Secret Window, Secret Garden
The Library Policeman
The Sun Dog
My favourite Blake poem:
Tyger Tyger. burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye.
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
#8 - Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy.
Though to be picky, those 4 only appear together in LWW, PC, and THAHB - VDT has Edmund, Lucy and their cousin Eustace; TSC has Eustace back with his friend Jill; TMN is Polly and Digory; then TLB brings everyone back to Narnia except Susan. But I'm assuming that you are looking for the original 4!
Four word M.G. Vassanji novel title:
'When She Was Queen'
If you want to count the word, "The" then there are actually two dour word novels, the other is, 'The Book of Secrets.'
Barbara: I wouldn't have considered that one the easiest, but in any case, you got the right answer.
Megan: That's it.
Mongoose: That's it. I figured someone would try to argue Toto's case, so thanks for not doing that.
Raidergirl: Good job. Without looking it up, I could only remember Langoliers and Secret Window.
Wollamshram: That's it and thanks for visiting!
Kate: You are right and thanks for setting the record straight. I really need to read more of that series.
Teddy: Actually, you are right with The Book of Secrets. When She Was Queen is not a novel, but a short story collection, isn't it?
Oh. I looked it up. But I looked it up in the book on my bookshelf, which didn't feel quite like cheating as opposed to looking it up on google. I also only recognized The Langoliers as a story I've read. I'm sure I read the whole book, but it wasn't familiar at all.
