Characters in other works question

[Erin White <ewhite0628@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi, all!

I'm trying to put together a unit for an high school
English teacher that will introduce her students to
famous literary characters that appear in a different
work of fiction.  The inspiration for this was Jasper
Fforde's The Eyre Affair.  For those of you who
haven't read it Thursday Next, a detective in the
LiteraTec unit has to go after a villain who seeks to
cut out the main characters in the original
manuscripts.  Thursday gets some help from Jane Eyre's
Rochester, her aunt gets kidnapped and imprisoned in a
Milton poem.   It's a really unique idea and
interesting read if you've never seen it.

I have three books - the two Thursday Next books and
the graphic novel of The League of Extraordinary
Gentlemen, but I'm having a hard time coming up with
others...  she doesn't want retellings, more of books
with alternate realities, I guess you would say.

Any genre-jumping ideas for me?

Thanks so much!
