Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was my late Husband's name?

Answer: Jonathan

I did not find out until a year after his disappearance how Jonathan died. He had been on a mission to give the cat some sleeping powder.

2. What is the name of my youngest child?

Answer: Cynthia

Timothy is my second youngest child, and my youngest son, but he does seem a lot wiser than his brother and sisters. Timothy was very sick, which is how I came to meet the rats in the first place.

3. What is the name of the crow I rescued?

Answer: Jeremy

Jeremy had caught his foot in some silver coloured string possibly left over from a Christmas parcel. I managed to free him and he became my friend for life.

4. Who suggested I go and visit the rats?

Answer: The owl

Jeremy suggested I visit the owl and once I mentioned my name was Mrs Frisby, the owl suggested I would be able to get some help from the rats.

5. Who was the first rat I met?

Answer: Brutus

I was supposed to meet Justin, but he along with all the other rats was at a meeting and Brutus had been left on Guard duty.

6. What advice did the owl give me to tell the rats?

Answer: Move the house into the lee of the stone

The owl thought if the house was on the lee side of the stone, it would be too difficult for the plough to get at. Therefore my family could stay in the house long enough for Timothy to get better.

7. What does Isabella's brother call her?

Answer: Izzy

She doesn't like being called Izzy, but I noticed she didn't mind when Justin called her that.

8. What is the name of the place where my home is located?

Answer: Fitzgibbon's Farm

The farm is a good place to live with only the Cat, Dragon to cause us problems.

9. What did Billy Fitzgibbon use to catch me?

Answer: A colander

Luckily he did catch me and put me in the canary cage, as I was able to hear about the rats that had electrocuted themselves. Justin later helped me to escape, and I could tell the rats what I had overheard.

10. Who wouldn't let the rats move my house?

Answer: The shrew

The characters of this book live on in a couple of books by Robert C. O'Brien's Daughter - Jane Conly: "Rasco and the Rats of NIMH" and "RT, Margaret and the Rats of NIMH."
