Can you guess the names of these men (if it is mentioned in the book) and the title of the book they appear in?

Have one guess at a time and feel feel free to guess again after someone else has had a go to give as many as possible a chance to join in.

We've had a guess by pm that number 2 is Jeremiah Boogle - sadly that's not him!

1) Jackson Boogle from Demons Rock ( Jeremiah is his Great Grandad).
The Chief looked at Fatty. "Brains are good, courage is excellent, resourcefulness is rare," he said, "but generosity crowns everything, Frederick. One of these days I'll be proud of you!" - "Vanished Prince".

Great guess of Old Man Gupps Nick, but not him sorry!

Gordon Jackson (Jeremiah Boogle's great great grandson) is not number 2 Anjalli - but you are so, so close - hint hint!

Some random guesses:

Number 3 -Mr Lenoir from Smugglers Top?

Number 4 - Jeff the airman from Billycock Hill?

Number 6 - Mr Luffy from Camp?

Number 8 - Wooden-Leg Sam from Camp?

EDIT: Sorry, I’ve just seen the rule about one guess at a time. I won’t do it again. If it’s any excuse, I’m not confident about any of them!

Please don't worry Morgan - it's only a game for a bit of fun.
As none of your excellent guesses were correct, maybe we should allow two or three guesses at a time with this one!


Number 3 -Mr Lenoir from Smugglers Top? X

Number 4 - Jeff the airman from Billycock Hill? X

Number 6 - Mr Luffy from Camp? X

Number 8 - Wooden-Leg Sam from Camp? X

On a positive note you have eliminated lots of possibilities for yours and the next posters suggestions!
Regards

Pete

That's such a good guess Katharine -
it's not Grandad, but you have eliminated him from our enquiries! :D
