Books With Honorifics in the Title

This was fun! These are a mix of books I have and haven't read, but what I'm most proud of is I came up with all of these off the top of my head. I guess books with honorifics are pretty widespread, although not usually identified as a category. Happy Top Ten Tuesday!

  1. Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence
  2. Little Lord Fauntleroy by Frances Hodgson Burnett

  4. Miss Benson's Beetle by Rachel Joyce
  5. Mr. Darcy's Daughters by Elizabeth Aston

  8. Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson

I loved Prince Caspian.

Just so you know, your link to this post on Jana’s site is broken.

Miss Benson's Beetle is on my list too - I loved that one. I remember enjoying Major Pettigrew's last stand.

It was my suggestion for the topic this week and I'm loving all these choices!

I'm impressed you came up with all of these off the top of your head! I had to do some searching to reach ten. MISS BENSON'S BEETLE almost made my list this week. It's one I really want to read.

Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
How did I forget to add Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell to my list? I loved that!
I love Prince Caspian too! May actually be my fav Narnia book. Thanks for letting me know; unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it.
I loved Miss Benson's Beetle! Haven't read Major Pettigrew's Last Stand yet.
Thank you! I highly recommend Miss Benson's Beetle!
Such a wonderful book! And how their names in the title immediately clue you in to their personalities!
