Microfiction Monday: "A Literary Treasure Hunt"

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's the world's best meme, coming to you from Susan at Stony River. One of the highlights of a dangerous writer's week. Enjoy.



What the Dickens! "C us Forester's At wood," they call themselves. Shaw brings bacon Caroll, Eliot, and Jane Austen hold the Greenery. (137 characters.)

(My homage to 9 great writers, who visited me in the middle of the night while I struggled with this week's picture. Great company they were! In chronological order:
Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
Jane Austen (1775-1817)
Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
George Eliot (1819-1880)
Lewis Caroll (1832-1898)
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)
C.S. Forester (1899-1966)
Graham Greene (1904-1991)
Margaret Atwood (1939-present)

Have a great week, everyone. Thanks in advance for your comments. I appreciate them and will do my best to visit you all in return.

  2. How wonderfully clever a tribute! What a splendid collection of muses to come caroling -- much better than Scrooge's I'd say.

    (and, holy crapoli, Batman, is it time for Microfiction again already??? Better get it up I guess! LOL)

  14. Have you analyzed what you ate before you went to bed? That might explain the busy night! Goodness, I think you must have been digesting a dictionary!

    Very clever though!
