UNSCRAMBLE THAT WORD!

Here's an easy one, to make up for the last one

SCRATCH / UNSHORN WILLVIOLA

1. Novel / Author
2. The author is much better known for other things.

Well done with the last one: I expected hints would be needed, there (was planning comments about a cellist becoming a violinist).

All I have here, so far, is that little-known masterpiece (or perhaps it was a mantelpiece?): Collars by Uncivil Hawthorns. The letters fit, but unfortunately this is its only claim to accuracy ...

SCRATCH / UNSHORN WILLVIOLA

1. Novel / Author
2. The author is much better known for other things.
3. British, no longer with us.
4. Important 20th century figure, and yet--weirdly--a recent UK poll showed that a large percentage of young people thought this person was fictional. The same poll showed that a large percentage thought Sherlock Holmes was real. :crazy:

Thanks for all the clues. I've been away from the computer.

alexaherself · Jul 9, 2012

Well done ... I did wonder, because you hadn't posted in other threads. They let me go out, very occasionally, too ... just to buy shoes, and so on, you know ...

Nymtoc · Jul 9, 2012

The nurses warned against it, but the doctor let me out for a couple of hours--alone!!!--and I came back!!! (Don't believe what you hear on the news about me.)
