-CS Lewis, That Hideous Strength IN Lewis, The Cosmic Trilogy (London, 1990), pp. 349-753 AT CHAPTER 17, 2, p. 732.

In Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, the Library of Dreams contains all the books that have ever been dreamed but never been written like Tarzan On Mars and Alice's Adventures Beyond The Moon.
