In another time and place, I wrote stories based on real-life books and substituted people from the site we were on as the characters.

for example a tale about Don Quixote had the hero as the Man from La Mango.
We also had the labours of Hercules, Lord of the Rings and even a couple of operas, including Carmen

Im about ready to do another one.

So, I need from you a famous book with at least 8 main characters, and I will give it 48 hours from today and then I will pick one.

It was a bit of a giggle and as an example, I will post a previous offering as an example ...

So ... Friends, roamin's, country folk, lend me your ear-nings

Act One
The Duchess, the Countess, Don Tumpa and Don Jimbhoy are taking part in a hunt in a woody clearing. The two men, ridiculous characters and clumsy huntsmen, make awkward declaration of love to the two ladies, who make fun of them.

Belushi Sancho runs in followed by Don Violet, who has been unsaddled whilst attacking a flock of sheep, which he had mistaken for a regiment of Virgins.

Belushi Sancho tells his master that the lovely Enigmatic Dulcinea , the lady to whom Don Violet has dedicated services as cavalier has been transformed into a coarse and ugly peasant woman by the magician The Dumpling, a sworn enemy of the errant knights.

Obviously this is nothing more than a tale made up on the spot by Belushi Sancho , the squire, to get out of the embarrassing situation into which Don Violet has placed him by giving him the impossible task of delivering a letter to the non-existent Enigmatic Dulcinea del Existence

In despair, Don Violet decides to follow the example of the paladin Poorme and go mad, and orders Belushi Sancho to read him the relevant lines from Ludovico Ariosto's How to find a virgn on CS.

Meanwhile the hunting party meet the knight and his squire: Don Violet believes that in the maid Wikked Carmosina he recognizes the features of the fair Enigmatic Dulcinea , and goes berserk.

The Duchess and the Countess decide to have some fun at the expense of this singular pair, and invite them to an open-air banquet where all kinds of practical jokes and tricks will be played.

Act Two
Scene One.
In the Duchess's presence, Belushi Sancho is named Governor of the Island of CS Ville. This is just the first of the series of practical jokes planned by the ladies and their wooers to amuse themselves at the expense of the errant knight and his squire.

The Countess and Wikked Carmosina are drawn on in a wagon, disguised respectively as the enchantress Melissa and the fair Enigmatic Dulcinea ; they are followed by a train of courtiers (including Don Jimbhoy) dressed in women's clothes and sporting false beards.

The Countess-enchantress explains to Don Violet that the same evil magician who turned Enigmatic Dulcinea into a rough hoyden has also changed some lovely ladies into repulsive bearded women; in order to break the spell, Don Violet will have to ride the Hippogriff up into the seventh heaven, whilst Belushi Sancho will receive 3,500 blows of the stick.

The knight and his squire (the latter reluctantly, in view of the threatened beating), their eyes blindfolded, mount a wooden horse and, to the general mirth, begin their imaginary voyage through interstellar space.

Scene Two.
Open countryside with windmills in the background. As usual, Don Tumpa and Don Jimbhoy are competing with one another for the smiles of the fair ladies, who for their part are pretending to favour them whilst secretly making fun of them.

They draw Don Violet into their little game, each declaring that she has fallen in love with him, arousing the jealousy of the two grotesque wooers. The act ends with Don Violet's disastrous exploit of charging the windmills.

Act Three
Wikked Carmosina and Lillyoftherella convince Don Tumpa and Don Jimbhoy to make their peace with the ladies, and this is achieved to the general satisfaction.

And this is not all: after having pretended to love the two men for so long, the Countess and the Duchess now feel genuinely attracted to them and are willing to marry them.

The opportunity to reveal their feelings to their future husbands is presented by an absurd duel by which the jealous lovers intend to settle their differences and decide their fate;

In this duel Don Violet acts as referee. After having been the victim of one last joke, in which he is made to believe that he has been turned into stone, Don Violet leaves the merry group with his faithful Belushi Sancho , bound for new adventure!
