About the Author

An encyclopedic look at several dozen of the most well known "people" of literature, television, mythology, and film. From detectives and criminals (Dick Tracy, Perry Mason, and Norman Bates) to the greats of theater (Hamlet, Shylock, Romeo and Juliet), the book covers and uncovers the history and influences of major characters of fiction. Some "factual" characters prove to be purely fictional: William Tell, the Swiss archer of legend, has many parallel stories in legends across the world, and his first appearance in writing came well after the Swiss revolution. Others are just enjoyable, from Lady Chatterley to Hercules. The three writers use a variety of styles and approaches, (one essay is told from a canine's point of view), and the tone ranges from scholarly to open comedy. The authors include both beloved and controversial characters across literature, commerce, folktale and legend. A fun exploration, from Jim Crow to Sherlock Holmes to James Bond, of imaginary people who've affected our lives and culture.
