Hi everyone..just trying to remember all the nursery rhyme characters referred to in the fourth bear. so far i've got:
-Jack Sprat
-Goldilocks and the three bears
-Contrary Mary
-Punch and Judy
-The Gingerbread Man
-Humpty Dumpty (briefly)
ahhh i can't think of any others!! i'm sure there were more..i've gone blank!
are Virginia Kreeper and Dorian Gray nursery rhyme characters?
can anyone remember any others?? hope so!
Thanks :)

I can't remember which characters are in which book. Time for a reread.

Dorian Gray's a book character, created by Oscar Wilde. Not sure about Virginia Kreeper.

The Quangle Wangle, Bisky Bat, the small Olympian bear, Attery Squash (and probably a few other mentioned quang-tech people) all come from Edward Lear's The Quangle
Wangle's Hat

That statement is either so deep it would take a lifetime to fully comprehend every particle of its meaning, or it is a load of absolute tosh. Which is it, I wonder?

Red Riding Hood, her grandmother, the woodsman and the wolf - although not major characters, Jack's handling of their case (and their post-traumatic stress after being recovered from the wolf's stomach) is a major factor in his being referred for a psychological assessment.

Prometheus, although not strictly a nursery rhyme but another PDR just like Jack.

Jack's wife Madeline is from The Fall of the House of Usher.
