Imaginary People: A Who's Who of Modern Fictional Characters

Imaginary People is a good book to turn to in order to get information on a fictional character. It's emphasis is on literature, but also covers characters from comic strips, television, movies, ballet and opera. There are over 1300 entries, from Robinson Crusoe (1719) to Max Headroom (1985). These are listed alphabetically by character's last names for human characters, or by how the animal characters are known; for example, Tom Sawyer is listed as Sawyer, Tom, while Woody Woodpecker is listed as Woody Woodpecker. I recommend this book for anyone who likes following a character through a series, or through different media - book to tv to the silver screen.
