Children’s Books (1-5-24) – Fikkle Fame (2024)

The Final Jeopardy question (1/5/2024) in the category “Children’s Books” was:

A 2020 edition of this beloved 1911 novel came with a glossary of horticultural terms & a location guide

Today is the first final match of the current Second Chance tournament, and the finalists are: Matt Harvey, a healthcare administrator from Providence, RI; Michael Cavaliere, a consultant from New York, NY; and Randall Rayford, a solar project developer from Houston, TX.

Round 1 Categories: Black History Year – This & That – Weight, Weight, Don’t Tell Me – Lines in Classic Novels – Nyming -Nyms – Our Man on the Field

Michael found the Jeopardy! round Daily Double in “Lines in Classic Novels” under the $800 clue on the 3rd pick. He was the only one on the board with $1,600. Michael bet it all and said “War and Peace”. That was WRONG.

The very long opening line of this novel includes the phrase “it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair” show

Matt finished in the lead with $4,200. Michael was in second place with $3,600. Randall was last with $2,400. All clues were shown.

Round 2 Categories: Country Overlaps – 20th Century Pop Culture – Famous Objects – Alliteration – The Ocean – Our Woman in the Field

Matt found the first Daily Double in “The Ocean” under the $1,600 clue on the 5th pick of the round. He was in the lead with $7,000, $3,000 more than Michael and Randall who were tied for second place. Matt bet $4,000 and said temperature. That was WRONG.

A halocline is a zone of ocean water in which this measurement changes rapidly with depth show

Matt got the last Daily Double in “Famous Objects” under the $800 clue on the 16th pick of the round. He was in the lead with $10,600 now, $3,800 more than Michael in second place. Matt bet $4,000 and, this time, he was RIGHT.

Carbon-14 dating tests in 1988 said the fabric of this had been made roughly between 1260 & 1390, not much earlier show

Matt finished in the lead with $16,200. Michael was in second place with $13,200. Randall was last with $7,600. All clues were shown.

NONE of the contestants got Final Jeopardy! right.

WHAT IS “THE SECRET GARDEN”?

“The Secret Garden” (1911) is the third children’s classic penned by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It tells the story of Mary Lennox, a young orphan and spoiled brat, who is sent to live with her uncle in England. He neglects her and his own disabled son, Colin (also a spoiled brat). Mary discovers a walled up garden at her uncle’s manor that is suffering from years of neglect. She and Colin set about restoring the garden, finding purpose and joy in their own lives in the process.

In 2020, Classics Made Easy published an edition of “The Secret Garden” that included a 150-word glossary, among other features. Heron Books had already published “The Secret Garden Glossary and Notes” in 2019 with “over 400 entries for English words, slang words, Yorkshire dialect, medical terms, gardening terms and more.”

“The Secret Garden” was first made into a talkie in 1949 with Margaret O’Brien as Mary and Dean Stockwell as Colin. Burnett’s 1886 novel “Little Lord Fauntleroy” was first filmed as a talkie in 1936 starring Freddie Bartholomew. The first talkie of Burnett’s 1905 novel “The Little Princess”, starring Shirley Temple, came out in 1939.

Randall thought it was Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit. He bet and lost his whole $7,600.

Michael thought of “A Child’s Garden of Verses” by RLS, but actually wrote “A Children’s Garden”. That cost him half his score and left him with $6,600.

Matt had Kenneth Grahame’s “The Wind in the Willows”. He lost $6,200 but came out on top in this match with $10,000. These scores will be added to the final scores in Monday’s game to determine this tournament’s winner.

A triple stumper from each round:

ALLITERATION ($800) To get down to discussing the important point; it seems to come from a 19th century folktale about a hunting trip

THIS & THAT ($1000) Romans, Arabs, Normans etc. have overrun this home of resilient Sicilians that’s been called the world’s most conquered city
