DQ #10 would tell you this dude’s not Shakespearean. So… a fictional British good guy, last name starts with P, first appeared in literature between 1900-50, in a story set before 1800, only partly set in the British Isles. Handy with a sword and not from fantasy/sf. Think think think… ---

I’m pretty sure I know who it is, but not having participated in this round, I will let others take any guesses first. However, I think I can ask this of the OP without giving the game away: could you have correctly offered a different answer for DQ4? If you prefer not to answer until the end of the game, that’s fine. ---

If you prefer not to answer until the end of the game, that’s fine. If EH & KO will let you guess, DC, that’s fine with me. As far as DQ4, the character was originally from a play, then from a series of novels, then on to more plays, radio plays, movies and TV series.
