Meet Dick
Get to know the characters from The Famous Five:
He could beat most grown-ups at chess by the time he was six. By eight he'd read the complete works of Shakespeare. His tenth birthday was the occasion for starting to make headway with Tolstoy, in Russian.
The biggest task for Dick isn't feeding his relentless quest for knowledge, it's having the bravery to do things rather than just read about them.
