I’ve got a pretty poor memory, so I’d love help making a list of characters from books by [name_m]Roald[/name_m] Dahl, [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_m]Potter[/name_m], fairy tales, and more that you remember from your own childhood or classics you read to your children now. Please specify the book and author if you can.
Please, NO [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] characters because those have a thread of their own!
Fun!
