Sources for the Dictionary of Imaginary Places
From Lovecraft's Arkham to Anthony Hope's Zenda, here's a huge list of fictional castles, hidden worlds & murderous cities. Besides novels, short stories, plays, poems & children's books, we have movies, operas, even an album by John Lennon! Though most works are European, British or American, we also have Chinese, Turkish, Nigerian, Canadian & Latin American works. In order by author. Not all stories available in English. Did not list Arctinus of Miletus' Aethiopis as it is a lost work. Books by Hirmiz bar Anhar, T. C. Bridges, Claire Kenin, Elspeth Ann Macey, Izaak Mansk & Amedeo Tosetti could not be verified. Wrong book may be listed for Hersart de la Villemarque, & I substituted what I think is the correct Inventorum Natura. Forgot the Anonymous works Capitolo di Cuccagna, Le Dit de Cocagne & Trionfo dei poltroni. From 1999, so no Panem or King's Landing. Did miss the 100 Acre Wood & the underground world of Og! Update- Bridges' book actually The Mystery Message.
