Who do you think they are? - the answers

Well done to everyone who correctly identified some of the authors the other day, but four remained nameless. Here they all are then, from top to bottom, left to right:

Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming, John Steinbeck (author of a memorable CBG book)

Saki, Raymond Chandler & cat, Rudyard Kipling

Kahlil Gibran (so now you know what the author of The Prophet looked like!), Evelyn Waugh (we've read him, too), R.K. Narayan (another CBG author).

"Raymond Chandler & cat" !

That's his beloved Persian cat Taki I think. His cat wrote to others (in this case Christmas 1948):

"Your rat tail is all the fashion now. I prefer a bushy plume, carried straight up. You are Siamese and your ancestors lived in trees. Mine lived in palaces. It has been suggested to me that I am a bit of a snob."

A little too anthropomorphised for my tastes I think!
