Larousse Dictionary of Literary Characters

Larousse Reference, 1994, hardcover, large format, 850 pages, condition: new.

This reference is a guide to the literary characters created by the greatest writers of literature in English, including authors from New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Scotland, Ireland, as well as the United States and England. Sixty-five hundred entries detail all the favorite characters of the English-speaking literary canon from novels, plays and poems, as well as thrillers, fantasy, and science fiction. The book is fully cross-referenced and includes an author/title index.

Another pleasing book. Characters from books I have read presented from another perspective. Characters and precis bits from books I have not read and will never get to in what is left of my life so it was a tiny taste of all those famous novels.
