Thanks! Unfortunately I can't really take credit - it's an epistolary novel, so the addresses were printed at the top of each page!
A Fall of Marigolds by Susan MeissnerPrimary: Ellis Island, New York City
Secondary: Upper West Side of NYC, West 89th Street & Broadway

Could be somewhere in England, but I'd prefer to think of Winnie & friends as living somewhere in an enchanted forest...
The Terra-Cotta Dog by Andrea CamilleriVigàta, Sicily
Note that Vigàta is a fictional town. However, the real town that Camilleri is referencing is Porto Empedocle found right smack in the middle of the southwest coast of Sicily.
Dracula by Bram StokerPlease add me to Lieke's listing already on the map.
I didn't see Count Dracula's residence noted, so could you also add Transylvania, Romania as a secondary location?
Thanks again!
