2) Peter, Lucy, Edmond
3) Duchess, Ginger, Merrylegs
4) Peggotty, Betsy Trotwood, Wilkins Micawber
5) Marilla, Matthew, Diana

Scoring:
• All twenty correct: (assuming no internet searches were resorted to)—You deserve the Award for Literary Acumen (if there were such an award, I’d be delighted to send it to you, but you are welcome to claim on FB, your blog, or Twitter that you qualified.)
• 15-19: Well done, and well read. Please accept the accolades of those who wish they had done as much, which would be, well, you know who you are.
• 10-14: Pretty good. Really. Better than it could have been at least.
• Less than 10: I wouldn’t tell anyone. Seriously, less than ten?
All these books are found on the Children’s Classics Book List. Enjoy, there are several I haven’t read. Yet.
