Since I haven't actually read 'neighbors and other stories', it's hard to say precisely who the main characters are. However, based on the title, it's likely that the neighbors play a major role. There might also be other characters who are related to the neighbors in some way, like the local shopkeeper who the neighbors interact with, or a postman who has some sort of connection to the neighborhood and its stories.
