5. Q: which celebrated author penned the timeless children’s novel The Secret Garden in 1911?
   A: Frances Hodgson Burnett. Although Burnett was born in England, she wrote the novel while living in the United States. Although critics today hail the work as a masterpiece of children’s literature, The American Magazine originally ran the story as a serial before a publisher released it as a full book. Moreover, the story’s themes of nature-driven healing and rejuvenation still move readers of all ages over a century later.
6. Q: which Dutch Golden Age master achieved lasting fame for painting the 1624 portrait famously known as The Laughing Cavalier?

Although a Latin inscription identifies him as 26 years old, his true identity continues to elude historians. Furthermore, the Victorian public and critics only invented the title ‘The Laughing Cavalier’ in the 19th century because the subject’s enigmatic moustache and twinkling eye charmed them.

8. Q: Which famous British literary children’s character do the French call “Oui Oui”?
