Thank you. The novel that I had in mind had a title with the collective noun of the tower birds beginning with a "C".
I realise now that the other book is the answer, that has a title with the collective noun of the tower birds beginning with a "U" and this is a poetry book.
Strange that there are 2 books with such similar titles each using the alternative collective noun!
Not yet, I'm afraid. I have only read through the quiz a couple of times and written in just those that I knew immediately. I have not yet started to seriously look any of them up.
Just now I googled British wild dogs and British Islands in case there was a name of a British Isle that was also the name of a dog. There are 2 books written entitled Wild Dogs, (not 8 letters but 4,4,) but neither of them are novels.
Hi,
Please don't tell me the answer but a clue I must be on the wrong lines, I was thinking tower birds = ravens and the collective noun is a 'Storytelling" right or wrong?
I think tower birds are ravens, ruggief, but I've never heard of storytelling in relation to them.
I've posted mine now, but i recall that the first word had 2 letters (see my original question), so at a guess, the second word will begin with a vowel - which fits both one of the collective nouns for ravens and a book.
