Clearly people haven't been to Patagonia. There are extensive topographical references to the Beagle and those on board. Ushuaia sits on the Beagle Channel. Argentina's most iconic mountain (sorry Aconcagua), Monte FitzRoy in Santa Cruz Province of Argentine Patagonia, is named after the captain of the Beagle. Monte FitzRoy notably appears on the logo of the Patagonia clothing company. The Alerce or Patagonian Cypress that makes up a lot of the temperate rainforests of more northerly parts of Chilean Patagonia belong to the genus Fitzroya. FitzRoy went on to be a Rear Admiral of the Royal Navy and founded the Met Office, but it all started when the captain of the Beagle shot himself and FitzRoy took over as acting captain during an expedition charting Tierra del Fuego. Of course FitzRoy and the Beagle are mainly remembered today for taking a young clergyman in training, Charles Darwin, on board. Overlooking the Beagle Channel is the spectacular Darwin Cordillera.
I wasnt... one of the few I missed, then I saw the answer and the writer and thought agh should ve looked at the writer. That was of no use for the others, either I knew withou looking at the writer (which isnt even always familiar to me even with the titles I knew) them or not at all
My first thought for Black was Stallion but then noted the different author. Loved The Black Stallion book as a kid and think the desert island sequence in the movie is superb cinematography.
Black Swan was hard for me to remember. I read part of it., but could never have come up with the author's name. When I bought a copy at a used bookstore, the proprietor asked me if I had an apron. I asked why. He said that I might want to don an apron before reading it, in case I got any ego splashes on me!
Thanks for a fun quiz.
