FATHER MAURICE MARMALADE
is so fussy and neat, that he often drives the rest of the family mad when he follows them around the house tidying up after them Don't dare leave a cup and saucer in the wrong place when Maurice is around! ''A place for everything and everything in it's place,'' is his daily motto, but as he is always so good natured and pleasant, everyone forgives him – eventually!
MOTHER MARGOT MARMALADE
likes to look neat and tidy all the time. She washes and starches her apron every single day! Margot makes her children laugh when she puts on an extra special 'posh' voice to answer the telephone, but Margot never takes any notice of them. She just says that one day, it might be somebody really important on the other end and she wants to make a good impression.
SISTER OTTILEE MARMALADE
is the complete opposite of her tidy parents. She is a tomboy and has already decided that she wants to be a daring and courageous firefighter when she grows up. To her parents despair, she is constantly practising her firefighting skills by climbing tall trees and running amok with the garden hose. You can be sure that Ottilee's pretty pink dresses and hats are covered in dust and streaked with mud every afternoon when she comes home from school!
BROTHER OSCAR MARMALADE
is never happier than when he is playing outdoors and getting as muddy as possible! He is very sporty and can never decide whether he prefers rugby, football or cricket – he is so good at all of them! His father is always scolding him about his appearance, but secretly he is very proud of his sporty son.

FATHER EBB VANDYKE
lives with the rest of his family on the 'Rose Of Sylvania'. They slowly travel up and down the river, having lots of adventures, and meeting lots of interesting people. Ebb is very keen on keeping the river environment clean and tidy. He gets very cross when he sees rubbish on the river bank or even worse floating on the water. He is always putting up notices 'Keep Sylvania Clean' and 'Use the bin provided'.
MOTHER FLO VANDYKE
runs the Sylvanian swimming classes as well as navigating the canal boat and looking after her busy family. All her family swim very well, but Flo wants everyone in Sylvania to be able to swim, because as she says “water is dangerous but supervised swimming is lots of fun so come and join us”.
BROTHER BROOK VANDYKE
is always getting in trouble! Not because he's bad or naughty, it's just that he is so terribly inquisitive. Once he got his head stuck in a large storage jar because he wanted to see what was inside. His sister insists he is just nosy, which upsets Brook.
SISTER SPRING VANDYKE
is the artist of the family! She is responsible for all the lovely decorations on the Rose of Sylvania. Spring spends hours on deck in the sunshine drawing new designs for everything from the buckets to the cabin doors. Her mother says she gets her artistic bent from her great, great grandfather who has some of his paintings hanging in the Sylvanian museum. After leaving school she wants to be just like him, the great Michael Angelo Vandyke.
BABY TWINS EDDY AND BECKY VANDYKE
have their own baby language, which they converse in all day long. No one knows just what the talk about (because it's baby talk) but what ever it is they can manage to talk about it all day every day. Brook thinks they talk in this strange way because everyone always goes “coo coo” to them!
