Can You Guess The Books?

This was a picture puzzle I created for a quiz; one that I would have been involved with organising but never took place. The object of the puzzle is to guess the title of book from the pictures shown. Try to string the sounds that the words make together and you’ll have the answer. Tip: pronouns have often been removed.
