First Follower Competition at Sukhasansister in the Category of Literature.

The indirect occasion for this competition is my upcoming blog which will be half the prize , needless to say. The other half is all of 2 SBD for the first correct answer submitted.

Question:
Which chapter from which book (by which author) does this digital collage illustrate?
Hint:
Think classic.

Browse your bookcases, visit your library, ask your hairdresser, enjoy!

Good luck!

I have literally no idea, but whatever it is, based on those elements, it sounds awesome. I'll mull it over.

You are my surest candidate to win! You're on the right side of the pond.

Is it the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer? There are a couple of chapters that could potentially loosely fit this but I'll go with the Monk's Tale...

Love to hear your cogs whirring!
Very interesting and now you've set ME a challenge: which parts fit into the Canterbury Tales - let alone the Monk's? I don't recall an albatross or an elephant or a shark (inbetween Giotto's rsen Christ and the baying wolf - hiding in the background) in it. Will have to return to Chaucer's Tales soon (second prompt in under two weeks).
I hope to pull you out of the dark soon. Unless you want to have one last crack at it with a new hint: (remember YOU are on the right side of the pond, and as far as you are "visible" that's not on my side...) plus think White...

Oh I went with Monk’s because of the large variety of stories; there had to be a metaphorical wolf in there somewhere. The Law Man’s Tale could potentially fit a few of these as well. Are we talking the geographical or temporal pond? (I assume it couldn’t be both since we’re sadly lacking in pre-Columbian American literature.)

Hadn't heard of a temporal pond, as such... I was specifically referring to THE Pond with its Atlantic water. Time-scale wise you are 450 years off.
Pre-Columbian?
A third prompt,now, to go back to Chaucer. I think we may even have skipped the Man of Law's Tale altogether in our Middle English course on Chaucer.
I shall relieve you of your nail-biting anticipation for the correct answer a.s.a.p. Hoping to finish the post for tomorrow.

Well, I figured either you meant that it's ancient (my side of the temporal pond), or that it's American (but I hadn't noticed any British-isms in your writing--e.g. "colour"--but maybe I just haven't been paying close enough attention.) But it couldn't be ancient and American because the ancient (pre-Columbian) writing we have in the Americas isn't as descriptive as say, Gilgamesh. I had to do a lot of going through Canterbury Tales Sparknotes over the last couple days to confirm or refute my theory, but it looks like I overthought it! I appreciate being motivated to overthink, though.

I'm very strict on the "colour" front and it hurts me to tag my entry to the "colorchallenge!"

The collage is indeed extremely uncomplicated and two-dimensional (so proud of myself). I stuck to a literal list. What you see is what you get (minus that darn wolf).
