Characters in the theme:

Master Sherlock Holmes (from Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
I am a man with such superior detective skills that I have become world famous. Nothing goes unnoticed by me.
Dress suggestions: Dress in old-fashioned clothes, carry a magnifying glass and a pipe.

Robin Hood (from Robin Hood by various authors)
I am a wealthy man who has been forced to become a thief. I steal from the rich and give to the poor. The poor of England were being asked for too many taxes. The taxes were required to fund various political battles overseas. I simply gave back to the poor the money that they had had unfairly taken away from them in the first place. Little John and I met on a plank across a river. But he would not let me pass. He is a very portly but strong man. He did not see why he should make way for me and so we did battle. He used his staff, but I was victorious in our skirmish. Afterwards, he came to know me and to be one of my main supporters.
Dress suggestions: Dress in period clothes, a cape and a mask.


Alice (from Alice's Adventures In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll)
Whilst on departure from Wonderland, I don't like to be rude, but I can't help thinking how very strange some people are. They are a bit like the Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter. In the library I look at the children's books. King Henry said he didn't like little girls. He said his wives had too many of them and not enough boys -- only one boy in fact.
Dress suggestions: Dress as a little girl with pigtails in your hair and rosy cheeks.

Goldilocks (from Goldilocks and the Three Bears by various authors)
I ate porridge at the bears' house. The bears hadn't locked their front door, so that's permission to eat their porridge, isn't it? I didn't get much porridge anyway. Great Big Bear's porridge was too hot, Middle-sized Bear's bowl was too cold. So I had to eat Tiny Little Bear's and his bowl is so small. Then I tried to find a comfortable chair to sit on, but Great Big Bear's chair was too hard, Middle-sized Bear's chair was too soft and Tiny Little Bear's chair collapsed on me. I was getting tired after all this, so I went upstairs to find a bed to rest on. Great Big Bear's bed and Middle-sized Bear's bed both weren't right for me. But Baby Bear's tiny bed was perfect, so I got in. I didn't even take my shoes off. King Henry kept saying I was a spoiled little girl and that if I was his child, he would lock me in the tower. The King had a chair in the library that he liked to sit on. It was large and I suppose it reminded him of his throne. Whenever he found me sitting in it, he got very angry.
Dress suggestions: Cute little-girl clothes. Tie a ribbon in your golden hair and don a blue dress, a frilly white apron, red shoes and yellow socks.

Little Red Riding Hood (from Little Red Riding Hood by various authors)
I was on the way to visit my Grandmother when I met the wolf. We chatted about how I was visiting my Grandmother and I told him where she lived. Then he left me and I went to my Grandmother's cottage. When I came inside, I found that she looked very different from her usual self. The Big Bad Wolf locked my Grandmother in the cupboard. So I said to the Wolf who was sitting in bed dressed in my Grandmother's nightgown, `Why, Granny...what big eyes you have got.' And the wolf said, `The better to see you with, my child,' imitating her voice. I won't bore you with the rest as you have probably all heard it. Most versions of the story end happily with my being saved from the wolf's clutches by my father and the woodcutters. King Henry and the Big Bad Wolf had a lot in common. They were both men that little girls should stay away from.
Dress suggestions: A red hooded cape with a dress beneath (possibly also in red). Carry some little cakes or cookies.


Cinderella (from Cinderella)
My mother died and my father remarried a widow with two grown daughters. Alas, when I met them, they treated me as a slave rather than as a sister. My step-sisters saw me covered in cinders after cleaning the fireplace and, my name being Ella, they gave me the nickname of "Cinder-ella". After working all day on my chores, I often wondered if I'd ever be happy again. The ladies of my household were invited to the Duke's ball. But my step-mother said I could not go unless my chores were done. Fortunately, my Fairy Godmother came to my aid and - well, you all know the rest of the story. King Henry was fascinated by my glass slippers. I think he thought that if I had no slippers, that the Duke's son would not find me in my fairytale and then I would be free to marry him instead.
Dress suggestions: Dress like a princess with tinsel/glitter or as a servant covered in cinders

Pinocchio (from Pinocchio by Carlo Lorenzini - penname Carlo Collodi retold by James Riordan)
When I was a puppet I lied a lot, but the Good Fairy taught me not to and to be good. `How stupid I was as a puppet. And how glad I am to be a real live boy.' When I lied my nose became so long I `could not move without banging it against the walls or door.' Geppetto sold his coat to buy me a spelling book for school. I sold it to go to the puppet theatre. Then I saved a puppet from being burnt by the showman and the showman gave me coins for my father. A fox and a cat told me they could multiply my money in "The Field of Miracles". A bird and the ghost of the cricket tried to warn me not to. The evil fox and cat hung me in a tree to die, but the Good Fairy saved me. But I still let them fool me into burying my money so it would grow. They stole it. Later I became a donkey and ended up rescuing Geppetto from the belly of a whale with the help of the Good Fairy. King Henry thought that I was a silly puppet and he tried to fool me into being his slave. But the Good Fairy warned me that he was an evil man.
Dress suggestions: A red jacket with a white frill-necked shirt. Make a pencil nose out of cardboard.

Dracula (from Dracula by Bram Stoker)
I am Count Dracula of the Kingdom of Transylvania. They are many `my creatures, to do my bidding and to be my jackals when I want to feed.' They then tried to thwart me, I, `who commanded nations, and intrigued for them, and fought for them, hundreds of years before they were born I was countermining them'. `My revenge is just begun! I spread it over centuries, and time is on my side.' They harassed me such that I had to return to Transylvania. But you will have to read the pages to see what happened then. King Henry realized that being dead himself, he had a lot to fear from I - the Un-Dead. There was nowhere he could escape us. The King thought it was beneath his royal dignity to suck people's blood. Such false pride hath he.
Dress suggestions: Old-fashioned clothes. Add fake blood, red lipstick, white powder on your face and very long canine teeth.

Dorothy (from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum)
After I was captured by the flying monkeys and I defeated the Wicked Witch of the West, I came back to the Wizard only to find out he had no powers at all. He offered to take me back to Kansas in his balloon, but then he took off without me. Fortunately, someone told me to use my magic slippers. After I returned home, I told my family and friends, how there's no place like home. King Henry was the same as the wicked witch - wicked to the core. He had the audacity to tell me to go and play.
Dress suggestions: A blue dress with a white blouse underneath. Add white sox and magic red shoes. If you can, add long black hair tied in two bows.

Wizard of Oz (from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum)
To get to my place you follow the yellow brick road. People think that I can accomplish anything. Dorothy and her friends came to see me. Scarecrow was amongst them. He was in search of a brain. They all expected me to wave a magic wand and to solve their problems for them. Instead I told them that they must first prove themselves worthy by bringing me the broomstick of the Wicked Witch before I would grant their requests. They succeeded and I pointed out to them that they already possessed what they sought. They just had to start using their abilities. King Henry was jealous of my supposed abilities. He wanted to be able to do anything himself.
Dress suggestions: A wizard's outfit with stars and the moon on it and with a long pointy hat.


Aladdin (from The Adventures of Aladdin by various authors)
I met a `mysterious stranger who said he would pay me a silver penny if I went down a manhole for him'. I found myself in a `large chamber... (filled with) pots of gold.' `Put out the flame and bring me the lamp!' he said. When I hesitated, he left me in there, dropping his ring in the chamber as he did so. Terrified, I put the ring on my finger and `twisted it round and round'. `Suddenly the room was flooded with a rosy light and a great genie with clasped hands appeared', and said he was at my command. I told the genie I wanted `to go home' and immediately I found myself there. I told my mother of my adventures. She was disappointed I had returned with only the old oil lamp. But she started to polish it and `out shot another genie'. He said that we had set him `free after centuries' and that he would be our servant. Things went pretty well after that and I married a beautiful princess. King Henry was jealous of my having a genie and even though he was already wealthy, he ordered me to give me to him but I refused.
Dress suggestions: Wear middle eastern clothes (eg baggy trousers). Add sequins and jewels.

Snow White (from Snow White by The Brothers Grimm)
My step-mother was jealous of my beauty and asked a huntsman to do away with me. He took pity on me and let me run away into the forest and I came to the house of the dwarfs. I ate their porridge. They found me later asleep and asked me to stay and take care of them. But I am not a porridge thief like you Goldilocks, I only took a little from each bowl as I was fainting from hunger. And since then I have kept house for them, so I have repaid my debt to them. My step-mother asked her looking-glass `Who is the fairest of us all?' and it told her I was living in the glen. Then my stepmother, plotted to get rid of me. She dressed as an `old pedlar woman' and sold me some lace for my waist. Then she laced me up so tight, I `lost ... (my) breath, and fell down as dead.' Fortunately, the seven dwarfs soon returned and cut the lace in two, so that I could draw breath. The Queen knew I wasn't dead because her mirror told her so, so she came again with a poisoned apple. The dwarfs thought I was dead. A prince saw me and carried me away. Then the apple fell out of my mouth and I came back to life and we married. King Henry kept trying to get me to marry him, but I refused.
Dress suggestions: Old-fashioned clothes such as a drawstring sash at the waist, puffy sleeves, flouncy skirt. She had black hair, red lips and white skin.

Thank you so much. You know how to keep an internet company personal. You can be assured that I will use your services in the future and tell all my friends to do the same!! What a breath of fresh air. -Tina
We did  one of your mystery parties last October (for Halloween). Since then, three of our family friends have asked for your website address because I raved about how wonderful your party kits are...so organized, complete, easy, and a GREAT value for the money. One of my daughter's friends is begging her mother to do a mystery party for her November birthday...and my own daughter is scanning your site for our next adventure. Keep up the good work!!
