I was inspired to hunt for epigraphs in my book collection while reading this post by Sanne at Books and Quills. She didn't seem to find that many in her books, but I actually found quite a few! This is just a selection of my favourites.
Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne |
Peter Pan in Scarlet by Geraldine McCaughrean |
...and...
The J.M. Barrie Ladies' Swimming Society by Barbara J. Zitwer |
Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Vera Rigler |
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee |
The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith |
Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman |
Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières |
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams |
...and over the page! |
The Ebb Tide by Robert Louis Stevenson; Taken at the Flood by Agatha Christie |
Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl |
Bonjour Tristesse by Françoise Sagan |
The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis |
What do you think of these lovely epigraphs? Have you found any interesting ones in your books? Let me know in the comments!
Oh how neat! I had no idea that's what that is called. The lawyer one gave me a good chuckle.
