I'll second Jen in voting for Jack of the Secret series.
Brilliant avatar by the way, Julie2owlsdene! So atmospheric.

Re: Character of month for August
Jack of the Secret series is an excellent choice. I'll go for him too. I totally agree about julie's avatar. It makes me feel like I'm crouching in a gorse bush at midnight waiting for the gates to open.

Re: Character of month for August
Thanks Anita and Lucky Star. Its from the book Five Get into Trouble, a hardback, with Dust jacket, year 1952. You're right Lucky Star, the five are actually crouching behind the bushes, but I cut around that screne.

Re: Character of month for August
I think I'll also go for Jack from the Secret Series. I know I mentioned once that something about him and Barney irritated me, but still, he is very intelligent and clever in lots of ways.

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.
When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen.

You've hit the nail right on the head, Almas!
