It is said that IT IS THE FIRST LINE that grabs the reader, holds tight and drags into the literary world. We've selected eight classics and cut out their first sentences - do you recognize them?

Can you guess where does the first line go and put the book quotes in right order?

1. 2. 3. 4.

5. 6. 7. 8.
