Check out Day 1 if you missed it. It occurs to me that some quiz questions are going to be UK-centric, so apologies to my international friends.
Today is an Arts and Books round. I know most of the people following this blog are avid readers, so FOR SHAME if you don’t ace it.
As always… no cheating!

5. Rudyard Kipling wrote the first Christmas speech for which monarch?
