Ever tried to find a story where you remember the plot but not the title or who wrote it? The Library of Congress comes to the rescue with Lost Titles, Forgotten Rhymes: How to Find a Novel, Short Story, or Poem Without Knowing its Title or Author, a guide for locating those elusive novels, short stories or poems:

‘Locating a novel, short story, or poem without knowing its title or author can be very difficult. This guide is intended to help readers identify a literary work when they know only its plot or subject, or other textual information such as a character’s name, a line of poetry, or a unique word or phrase.”‘
