UPDATE (June 18): I received an email from someone asking for clarification about the contest rules.
There is one name listed for each separate character. There are some names listed twice (Sebastian, Paul, Lisa) due to the fact that these are characters - from separate books - with the same name. I neglected to point out that there is one character listed who appears in more than one book within the same series. I apologize for the confusion and will select the winner according to the number of correct books listed for each character found on the alphabetical list.
Thanks to the Children's Literature Book Club, I've been looking at the characters of our books in a whole new way. Here's my version of our alphabetical list of guys, gals and critters great and small:
