As you solve each cryptic clue, write the word in the spaces provided beside the clue. Then transfer each letter to the square with the same number on the crossword. Black squares always mark the end of a word but some words may continue on to the next line. When the crossword is complete, the letters will spell out a quotation from a book. Incredibly, the first letters of the answers will spell out the author's name and the book title.
