Famous characters?

[ladyofastolat]

I just saw a reference to someone who is "undoubtedly the most famous character in literature." Who do you reckon they were talking about?

Bilbo Baggins?
Mr Darcy?

Go on spill the beans

I'll wait a few hours, I think. I'm interested to see people's differing ideas on who counts as famous. It's kind of like Family Fortunes without the cheesy presenter... ;-)

Timmy the dog!
Noddy?

You know, your comment caused me quite a few happy minutes this afternoon, spent imagining what sort of story would include both Mr Darcy and Bilbo Baggins. I'm not sure what has more potential: dropping Darcy in Middle Earth, or introducing Bilbo to Regency England.

If you write it, they will enjoy ...
