Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who is Ronia's father?

Answer: Matt

Matt is the Chieftain in Matt's Fort and is Ronia's father. Borka is Birk's father, Noddle-Pete and Little Snip are both robbers in Matt's Fort.
2. Who is Ronia's mother?

Answer: Lovis

Lovis is Ronia's mother - and is the real strength and wisdom in the fort. Undis is Birk's mother, Astrid is the first name of the author and Pippi is the first name of another of Lindgren's characters - Pippi Longstocking.
3. What is the name of the chasm that split Matt's Fort in two the night Ronia was born?

Answer: Hell's Gap

The chasm is known as Hell's Gap. Matt warns Ronia, "Watch out you don't tumble into Hell's Gap," which she practices by leaping back and forth over it. It is at this point that she first meets Birk.
4. What does Ronia's father tell her she should do if she gets lost in the forest?

Answer: Find the right path

Before sending Ronia out into the forest for the first time, Matt gives his daughter several pieces of advice: Watch out for Wild Harpies, Gray Dwarves and Borka Robbers. When she asks how she will know which is which, she is told she'll find out.. .Then he tells her to watch out not to get lost in the forest.

When she asks what she should do if she does, he replies, "Find the right path." Next, he tells her to watch out she doesn't fall into the river - if she does, she should swim. Lastly, he warns her to watch out she doesn't fall into Hell's Gap - if she does, she won't be doing anything else.
5. What do Ronia and Birk call the two young horses they tame to ride?

Answer: Villain and Savage

One horse tries to bite Ronia's fingers when she first approaches. Birk asks, "Do you mean that villain snapped at you when you were giving him bread?" Ronia decides Villain is a good name for her horse and Birks asks her to name his horse for him in exchange. She says, "He's just as crazy - you can call him Savage."
6. Which of the forest-dwellers can fly?

Answer: Harpies

Gray Dwarves are small and grey (naturally) and are known for biting and scratching small humans - they are easily frightened off by shouting and firmly standing your ground. The Unearthly ones sing strange, unearthly songs to tempt people away in the mist, only for them never to be seen again. Rumphobs are small beings, mostly harmless, and known for their odd speech patterns, ("Woffor did 'un do that?").

The wild and beautiful Harpies fly shrieking around the forest, hoping to find small children to torment and take back with them to their mountain lair.

They love to scratch and "make the blood run" - their cruel laughter rings throughout the forest!
7. Which song does Lovis sing every night?

Answer: The Wolf Song

Ronia tries, without much success, to sing The Wolf Song the first night that she and Birk stay in the Bear's Cave, but it makes her too sad when she can't sing it like her mother does and she never sings it again.
8. What is the name of the waterfall that almost claims the lives of Ronia and Birk?

Answer: Greedy Falls

When Ronia and Birk are swimming, they always know it's starting to get dangerous when they see the large rock, called Greedy Hump, sticking out in the middle of the river. They then swim for shore in order to reach safety before going over Greedy Falls.
9. What secret does Noddle-Pete impart to Ronia?

Answer: The location of a silver mine

Noddle-Pete once saved the life of a young Gray Dwarf who was so grateful that he showed Noddle-Pete a hidden silver mine. Noddle-Pete never divulged the information to anyone but Ronia, and she, in turn, told only Birk, so that they could make their fortune when they became adults and not become robbers like their fathers.
10. A certain season has a peculiar effect on Ronia. What is it?

Answer: Spring Yell

When Spring arrives, Ronia feels it building up inside her so that she has to scream aloud. She warns Birk not to be afraid - it's just her Spring Yell!
