So we’ve taken the names of some famous novels and anagrammed each of them into a new phrase. And to help you out, we’ll use that phrase in a sentence that helps clue the original title.
For instance, if the clue is “A tart by the eggs”. (As in, the title character has an affair with a tart by the eggs. East and West Egg, that is.)
The answer would be The Great Gatsby.
