Lark's People - A-H
All the stories in the Fairy in the Bed series are set in the same world, and characters tend to pop up in one another's stories. Here are some of the people you'll meet, along with their relationships and the books in which they appear. Main characters appear in UPPER CASE, the first time they’re mentioned. Major or supporting characters in Normal Case. They are grouped alphabetically by first name, because some of them don't use surnames.
