Dear Carolyn,

Limiting this to books published before PF, the only one I could
come up with is /The Lord of the Rings/, which I've mentioned
before in this context. The Web has helped out with Herodotus
(CXIV), /Beowulf/, the saga of Grettir, the Volsunga Saga, "The
Monkey's Paw", /The Temple of the Golden Pavilion/ (Mishima),
and /Things Fall Apart/ (the "kinbote" in this case being two
people forced to live in the community that had suffered the
loss). I feel sure there are many more.

How many books have the name "Jekyll"? Not many, I think,
and that's why I consider the "Danish stiletto" to be a
more direct link.
