The pig from Dirty Beasts, I really like the way the character solves problems in a funny, quirky, horrible way and the fact it has think about "what life was really about" A lovely character created by a genius, my children and grandchildren love this poem.

The grandma from George's Marvelous Medicine. I love how they end up as partners in crime. A very odd way to bond, but it finally happened!

Lavender from Matilda always stood out for me. She was always overshadowed by Matilda but she was always loyal and stood by Matilda

Miss Trunchbull, she's the type of battleaxe we all knew as a kid. My old head-teacher for example! A great character and a favourite of my GC's!

Our very favourite is Matilda as we have a little granddaughter named after her. It was our daughter's (Matilda's mummy) favourite book when she was small - in fact it still is. She's a huge Roald Dahl fan, and has passed that love on to her children.
