celebrating books and characters [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

Do they have to be Russian?  There's a statue of Sherlock Holmes outside
Baker Street Underground station in London.

Hi,

In Moscow, in the house where Mikhail Bulgakov lived, there is a museum, not
so much to honour the writer but the book and it's characters. Similarly in
Yalta there is a sculptural composition called Lady with a lapdog (dedicated
to the two characters of Chekhov's well-know story). I working on a book
about such things in which not the author but fictional characters become
part of the city space. I'll be grateful if someone can lead me to similar
stories. The characters need not be from fictional narratives only. I would
love to know if characters from a novel/film/play/tv serial have found a
monument dedicated to them.



Thanks



Subhash
