Now that's what I call thinking outside the box.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

*needs more clues, too many ppl reading too many books at the same time*

[Gudrean]

Robert Jordan? =)

[Leala]

Good idea for thinking outside the box, Sen, but no.  :P

 

And it's not Robert Jordan, either.  lol

[Leala]

Second hint for the fifth Great:

 

This Great's masterpiece is a well-known and well-loved piece that has been translated into many different languages...including English.

[Gudrean]

Shakespear???  (sorry no blue, my reply box not working right)

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

absolutely no idea but...

 

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

[Leala]

How do you translate something from English into English?  xD  Well, I suppose Middle English counts for something, but no, this is not the Bard.  ;)

 

Cindy is also incorrect.  

[Basel Gill]

Homer

[Leala]

Good guess, but not quite.

[WolfbrotherKronos]

[Leala]

Nope.  :)  One more guess, and I'll either move on to the next hint or give points.  >.>

[John E. Kelley]

Geoffrey Chaucer.

 

Boom.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

English?

[John E. Kelley]

Old English to English.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]
