Who Stole The Cookies?
This is a "mystery" not a "murder mystery".

There are the following sections on this page:

Last night in the library, when many characters were out of their books enjoying a sojourn in the night air, a crime was committed, grim and grave, right in our own library. When Mrs Bookworm, the librarian, opened the fundraising cookie cupboard this morning she was shocked. The cupboard, where the fundraising cookies had been kept, was empty.
Gathered in the library are the characters who were present at the time of the nasty deed. Fortunately Master Sherlock Holmes is here to investigate, so the perpetrator of this heinous crime will no doubt be revealed as the party proceeds.

The people present in the library are:
Master Sherlock Holmes (from Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conlan) I am a man with such superior detective skills that I have become world famous. Nothing goes unnoticed by me.
Alice (from Alice's Adventures In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll) Whilst on departure from Wonderland, I don't like to be rude, but I can't help thinking how very strange some people are.
Queen of Hearts (from Alice's Adventures In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll) No matter whether I am in my book or not, I am always shouting 'Off with his head! or 'Off with her head'. Such a temper have I.
Cinderella (from Cinderella) Having been treated badly by my step sisters, I know what it's like to be a slave. So in the palace, I am kind to everyone - the servants included.
The Fairy Godmother (from Cinderella) I am by Cinderella's side even when she's out of her fairytale and wandering in the library. I can turn things into other things (eg pumpkins into carriages) and grant wishes.
Snow White (from Snow White by The Brothers Grimm) I am a young lady with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as ebony. I am friends with a bunch of dwarfs.
The Witch (from Snow White by The Brothers Grimm) I am a very vain, jealous and angry woman. I am particularly jealous of my step-daughter Snow White.
Peter Pan (from Peter and Wendy by Sir James Matthew Barry) I am the little boy who never grew up. I live in Never Never Land and I can fly. Sometimes I teach other children to fly with me.
Tinkerbell (from Peter and Wendy by Sir James Matthew Barry) I am a fairy and I am always around to help Peter Pan. Sometimes I use my magic fairy dust to help people to fly.
Little Red Riding Hood (from Little Red Riding Hood by various authors) I am a fearless, but kind young lady who goes for walks alone in the woods.
The Grandmother (from Little Red Riding Hood by various authors) I am sick and confined to bed. I try to be a kind lady.
Dorothy (from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum) I am a very determined young lady from a farm in Kansas. I don't let anyone get in my way.
Wicked Witch of the West (from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum) Even though I only have one eye, I am still very powerful and very evil. I have a silver whistle around my neck and when I blow it, a pack of wolves comes to help me destroy people or make them my slaves.
Goldilocks (from Goldilocks and the Three Bears by various authors) I am a naughty and some say "spoiled" little girl. I always do exactly what I want. For example, I steal porridge and sleep in beds I don't own.
Baby Bear (from Goldilocks and the Three Bears by various authors) I am the innocent victim of Goldilocks. She ate my porridge, broke my chair and slept in my bed while I was out.
Aladdin (from The Adventures of Aladdin by various authors) I changed from being a poor boy to a handsome prince and married a beautiful princess in a 'great splendid palace'.
The Genie (from The Adventures of Aladdin by various authors) I helped Aladdin to become a prince. I live in Aladdin's magic lamp.
Mrs Bookworm (the librarian responsible for the cookie cupboard) Although I try to be helpful, a lot of the children are afraid of me. I think it is because I am always telling them to be quiet in the library.
Fairy Godmother: "Cinderella was
so busy dancing with the Prince at the ball that she forgot to eat anything.
So when she returned home she desperately wanted a midnight snack, so
that's why she wanted to steal the cookies from the cookie cupboard."
