This is a listing of the characters in *most
of my books.
*i.e. - I have left out the names of real
historical people, and of characters I didn't invent, such as Blinky Bill.
There are two sites.
THIS ONE has entries in
alphabetical order, surnames first.
If a character's surname isn't mentioned in
his/her book, then the first (only) name is used instead.
Thus you might get an entry for "Susan
Thorne" under "People
T", but another Susan whose surname is never mentioned will be under "People S".
The alternative version, which is First Names
First, is through HERE.
To make it easier to find entries, I have
broken the alphabet so "A" is split to include "AA",
"AB", "AC" etc. So, if you're looking for "Pirimba
Raven" you should check out "RA" on the People R page..
In the case of unrelated families of the same
surname, I've split the entries with * between them.
Names beginning with Mac (like MacDonald)
come under "MA" while Mc names (like McDaftie) come under
"MC".
Family listings consist only of characters
actually appearing in the book. Thus the lack of parent(s) in a listing doesn't
necessarily mean they don't exist. It would have been too confusing to add all
the characters known only as 'Mum', 'Dad', 'Gran' etc.
Book titles featuring the characters are
usually given in full, but in some cases I have take shortcuts when a character
appears in several novels. Shortcuts include –
The Springford Books – These are Her Kingdom
for a Pony and The Day the Cows Slept In, both very early titles from the
1970s. These books have associations with The Rosina Books.
The Rosina Books – These are Rosina and Her
Calf, Rosina and the Show and Rosina and Kate, all early 1980s. They feature
cross-over characters with the Springford Books.
Timothy W-W – This is Timothy
Whuffenpuffen-Whippersnapper.
The Amber Books – These comprise Down River,
Time off, Winter-Spring Garden, The Suitcase, Another Good Friend and All the
Sea Between. The Amber Books might also include The Magician's Box.
The Bandinangi Books – These comprise Five
Easy Lessons, One Weird Week, Three Loony Months, Three Missing Days (aka
Ex-Spelled) and Kayak. Other titles with ties to the series include Spiral
Stairs, The Magician's Box and Parroty.
The Knight Books – these include Knightfall and Knight Protector.
