Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. My name is Kate Greenaway. What am I famous for?

Answer: All these things

Kate Greenaway (1846-1901) was an English illustrator famed for her depiction of children. The simple style of costume she drew became well-known in its own right. The Kate Greenaway Medal was named after her.
2. I'm a fictional Katy. I had a sister called Johnny. What was my surname?

Answer: Carr

Katy Carr was one of the lively children of a widowed doctor. She had sisters called Clover, Elsie and Johnny, and a brother, Dorrie. Katy is famous for her appearance in "What Katy Did" and its sequels, by Susan Coolidge.
3. My name is Kate. I was a fictional lady-in-waiting to Princess Elizabeth. I helped save a little girl named Cecily who was taken by the people in the well. I'm getting married to her brother Christopher soon. What will my married name be?

Answer: Kate Herron

Kate Sutton is a disgraced maid of honour who takes the rap for something her sister did in Elizabeth Marie Pope's enchanting fantasy, "The Perilous Gard". At the end of the book, she is betrothed to Christopher Herron.
4. I was one of three Kates married to an English king. I became his widow. Who was I?

Answer: Katherine Parr

Henry VII married six wives. The first, Catherine of Aragon, he divorced. The second, Anne Boleyn, was beheaded. The third, Jane Seymour, died. The fourth, Anne of Cleves, was divorced, the fifth, Kathryn Howard, was beheaded and the sixth, Katherine Parr, survived.
5. My name is almost Kate. The sound is the same, but the spelling is different. I'm an Australian actress. What's my name?

Answer: Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett was born in Melbourne in 1969. She is a well-known actor in film, television and on stage.
6. I'm Kate, or, properly, Katharina. My husband, (God rot him) called me after an unpleasantly whiffling animal! What was it?

Answer: A shrew

Katharina, from the Shakespearean play "The Taming of the Shrew", did calm down eventually. She also appears in the musical "Kiss Me, Kate".
7. I'm Katie... and my boyfriend, who likes to sing about me, has a stammer. "K-k-k-katie!" That's what he sings. In his song, he says I swallowed a sum of money. How much was it?

Answer: a halfpenny

As well as the halfpenny (or ha'penny"), this old music hall song has K-k-k-katie swallowing sticks, bricks, straw, the doormat and the key of the kitchen door!
8. There's an old song in which the narrator wishes she could dance like her sister, Kate. What dance could the lively Kate do so well?

Answer: shimmy

The narrator wanted to shimmy like her sister Kate. The song, "I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate" was written by Armand Piron in 1919. These days, shimmying is associated with belly-dancing, but I suspect Sister Kate did something a little more genteel!
9. My name is Kate, and I wrote a famous story about a girl named Rebecca. What is my three-word-name?

Answer: Kate Douglas Wiggin

Kate Douglas Wiggin (1856-1923) wrote "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" and other books including "The Birds' Christmas Carol" and "A Cathedral Courtship".
10. What is the meaning of the name Kate?

Answer: pure

Kate (Katherine, Karen, etc) is usually said to mean "pure". Margaret or Peggy mean "pearl", Sarah or Sally mean "princess" and Belinda, "pretty".
