The world's first acrostic puzzle, was published in the Saturday Evening Post (and called a Double-Crostic there) on March 31, 1934. It was created by Elizabeth Kingsley (1871–1957). The puzzle below has been reformatted slightly to make it easier to copy letters from the grid to the clues, but all of the clues and the quotation are the same as in the original.
Instructions: Fill in the answers for the listed clues. Each letter in the answer is numbered; as you fill in the letters for the answer, they will be transferred to the corresponding square in the diagram. You may also fill in letters in the diagram; they will be transferred to the corresponding answers. When the puzzle is complete, the diagram will contain the text of a quotation, and the quotation's author and source can be read in the first letter of each of the answers.
