The 20th Century saw some of the most epic children’s books - JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit, CS Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia and JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series spring instantly to mind.

Whoever your favourite children’s writer, I hope you’ve come across them at least once in this series of quizzes. If you haven't yet then maybe you'll find them in this last one.
