This word-game started at Literary Compass (in 2007) who said:
"I've never started a meme before, but I've always wanted to (Well, maybe not always, but at least since last Thursday. Anyway...) Here are the rules:
Blend two book titles together by using the last word of one title and the first word of the second title. If you want, you can blend the authors' names too. Like this:
• The Divine Comedy of Errors by Dante Shakespeare
• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince of Tides by J.K. Conroy
• The Canterbury Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Geoffrey Blume
• The Screwtape Letters to a Young Poet by C.S. Rilke
For some reason this old title-blending meme came up in conversation today, and I thought it was funny enough to repost five years later. Besides we have a few more to add…
To Kill a Mockingjay
The Swiss Family Robinson Crusoe
The Invisible Manalive
I got tagged by Nick over at Literary Compass to do his brand-new Title-Blending Meme (what fun!).
Here are mine:
The Evidential Power of Beauty and the Beast
The King of Ireland's Son of Charlemagne
String, Straightedge and Shadow of the Bear
In Defense of Philosophy for Dummies
The Dangerous Book for Boys and Girls of Colonial Days
The Boxcar Children of Hurin
The Man Who Knew Too Much Ado About Nothing
The Everlasting Man Who Was Thursday
The Babe Ruth Story of the Greeks
The Story of the First World War II for Kids (with help from Ria)
Centerburg Tales of the Greek Heroes
Blaze and the Mountain Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
I Am David and Goliath
• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince of Tides by J.K. Conroy
• The Canterbury Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Geoffrey Blume
• The Screwtape Letters to a Young Poet by C.S. Rilke
• The Last Don Quixote by Mario de Cervantes.and of course,
First, it was happily discovered when I was reading back in Alicia von Hecke's blog (2012):Now it's your turn."
Our first one was sort of cheating
Christopher Robin Hood
because it's one Ria "accidentally" made up when she was two or three years old (but honestly, I don't think I could come up with anything better myself).
Here are some from my son, Gus:
