Tag! Your It! Tuesday

Brianna put out an "open invite" tag. (Click here to read hers) The rules are this. Pick 3 book characters (from 3 different books), post a picture of each and write 3 interesting facts about that person.

Here it goes!

My first character is the Great Detective

Hercule Poirot.

1) He is of Belgain nationality

2) His best friend is Captain Arthur Hastings, former British army Captain in India

3) He is EXTREMELY particular about his "twin moustaches" looking just so!

My next character is...

Snow White

1) All of her clothes in Disney's version, peasent's and princess's, are of German background.

2) In the Grimm's version (less romantic, and more practical) she didn't actually have to be kissed to break the spell of the poisioned apple. The Prince saw her in her coffin, and thought her so beautiful that he wanted to bring her to his castle. When his men were carrying her coffin, one stumbled and dropped his end. When she hit the groung the poisioned bite of apple flew out of her throat and she sat up in surprised wonder. and they lived happily ever after.

3) The wicked queen tried 3 seperate times (in Grimm's version) to be rid of the girl who was claimed by the magic mirror to be the "fairest in the land"

My last person is really 4 children from the same book.

RENYARD (REYNIE) MULDOON (outlined in green)

KATE WEATHERALL (outlined in black)

CONSTANCE CONTRAIRE (outlined in pink)

GEORGE (STICKY) WACHINGTON (outlined in red)

All these kids are great, but my personal favorite is Kate. Here are the three facts about her.

1) She always has with her, hanging from her belt, actually, a metal bucket, painted fire engine red, full of useful things. (rope, pen light, invisible ink, paper, swiss army knife, etc.)

2) Kate wishes her nickname was The Great Kate Weather Machine, until the boys pointed out that it was too long to be a nickname.

3) Her mother died when she was very young, and she doesn't know what happened to her father, so she was put in an orphanage. She ran away from the orphange to join the circus. But they didn't want her so they put her back in the orphanage. THEN, she ran away to the circus, AGAIN. On and on it went until the circus owner decided to save everyone the bother and kept her. It was here she learned all the seemingly impossible feats she displays throughout the books.

Oh and I have to add one more...

4) She, like her name, really can weather it all!

I'll tag Miss Hope, Karlee and Rylie for this fun tag!
