    Answer to Puzzle #5773

    Yongle Encyclopedia!

    A Chinese encyclopedia, named after the Yongle Emperor of the Ming dynasty who commissioned the book in 1403 and was completed by 1408. Its sheer scope and size made it the world's largest general encyclopedia, an achievement unsurpassed until the 21st century Wikipedia.

    The Yongle‘s authorial team consisted of over 2,000 scholars. (By contrast, Wikipedia has over 127,000 regular contributors.)

    (wiki link)

    #Clues

    'Keats Shakespeare Dickens.......' + 'Newton Darwin.....' + 'Everything has a Place, Everything in its Place' (text clues 1 + 2 + 3) - I meant to say, 'All of them under one roof'...

    'Mom knows Best' - meant to say, 'Encyclopedia', the mother of all books...

    'Keep Calm, Read' + 'Ming Empire'
    1) Read - as a hint that this is a 'book'.
    2) 'Read Ming' - when you read about the Ming empire, You ll get to know about the Yongle Emperor who commissioned this project.
    3) Also to hint, 'Wikipedia' ('where' you might read about the Ming Emperors or about this encyclopedia)

    Final Clue: A world of "never ending happiness" - Yongle means 'Perpetual Happiness' in Chinese.

    Hope y'all had fun... ?! :)
