Treasure trail questions
1. Who, according to Diana Quick's review of Callow's My Life in Pieces due to be published in tomorrow's Saturday Review, once called acting "dressing up for Mummy and Daddy?" Denholm Elliott
2. In a review for the Guardian of Malcolm Andrews's study of Dickens's life on the stage – which also appears in My Life in Pieces – Callow quotes an intriguing suggestion that the great writer would have also made a great actor, if it wasn't for "them books". But who first made the remark to Dickens? the Stage Manager of a charity performance in which he was taking part
3. Callow rarely finds himself in any one place for long enough to get any writing done, so has become a dab hand at finding time and space wherever he can. He chose a dressing room at the Haymarket as part of our Writers' rooms series, but what was the carving which he imported for sustenance alongside the CD player, flowers and facilities for making tea? Russian Ganesha
4. Who reviewed My Life in Pieces for the Observer in August? Michael Coveney
5. How much is My Life in Pieces on sale for on the online Guardian Bookshop? £15
