C.S. Lewis[]

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe: "Conner," Alex whispered close to him. "Look around at this place! It's like we're having our own Lucy and Mr. Tumnus moment!" [1]

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: "You think the painting could take us into the Land of Stories?" Conner asked. "It worked in one of the Narnia books," Alex said.[2]

"Exactly how did the Narnia kids travel through the painting?" Conner asked, slowly stepping away from theirs.[3]

Lewis Carroll, Frank L. Baum & C.S. Lewis[]

Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: "I was just thinking," Conner said, "Alice went to Wonderland after she fell into a rabbit hole. Dorothy's whole house was scooped up by a tornado that dropped her off in Oz. The Narnia kids traveled through an old wardrobe...and we ended up in the fairy-tale world by falling through a book."[4]

The Wizard of Oz: He stood up, closed his eyes, and began knocking his heels together. "There's no place like home. There's no place like home," Conner shouted.[5]

In chapter 27 of The Enchantress Returns, Alex meets with Alice, Dorothy, and Lucy from the above-mentioned books, and Wendy from J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan in a dream.[6]

Jules Verne[]

Around the world in 80 days: "We'll travel by balloon!" Froggy said excitedly. "Just like the travelers did in Around the World in 80 Days! I have to admit, I've been waiting for a situation to arise that offered an excuse to build something like it since I read the book."[7]

P.L. Travers[]

Mary Poppins: "Is that the giant's castle? Alex asked. "I'm assuming," Conner said. "Unless Mary Poppins moved into the neighborhood."[8]
