There were two books about Alice. One, usually known as "Alice in Wonderland" or simply as "Alice" was actually titled "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", and the one usually known as "Alice Through the Looking Glass" which was actually titled "Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There".

In the first book, Alice's sister was reading a dull book without pictures or conversation. So Alice had at least one sister.

Answer: "The Magician's Nephew" and "The Last Battle"

There are seven books in the series. The numbering is a bit difficult because the first book written happened after one of the others in time, while one of the other books happened during the first one written. The chronological order is "The Magician's Nephew" (in which Narnia is created, and in which Polly plays a major part), "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", (which introduces the High King Peter and his siblings, and in which Diggory Kirke appears as an elderly man), "The Horse and His Boy", (which takes place during "Lion", and which is set wholly in Narnia), "Prince Caspian", (which introduces Caspian,), "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" (which takes place just a few Narnian years later,), "The Silver Chair", (in which Caspian is very aged, and which introduces his son, Rilian), and "The Last Battle", (in which Narnia is destroyed, and in which Polly appears at the end).

Killashandra Ree is the splendidly resounding name of the Crystal Singer. To date, she has appeared in three books. Kris Bjornsen is the heroine of the "Catani" series, Menolly is from the "Dragonriders of Pern" series and Maree Mallory is from "Deep Secret", by a different author.

All the characters are musical. Killashandra is a crystal singer, and was originally studying opera, Menolly, Sebell and Robinton are all harpers, The Blue Adept and Stile both play musical instruments and use singing magic, Jamie is a piper, and ShuMar sings and plays pipes.

They are not all male, only four of them are from Anne McCaffrey's books and most appear in more than one book (even Jamie pops up in novelised versions of "Dr Who").

Answer: Claire and Jamie

At the beginning of the series, Claire Randall meets Jamie Fraser in 18th Century Scotland. Claire is a time traveller from the mid 20th Century.

Answer: A mutated creature that travels in a metal pepperpot-shaped machine.

The Daleks were natives of the planet called Skaro. A nuclear war had mutated them, so a scientist called Davros invented a kind of self-contained wheeled vehicle/shell for the Daleks to inhabit. They look like robots, but there is definitely a Thing inside.
