Dear Matt,

What lead you to this discovery? Chance? Google? Is there any further light on Pale Fire to be found in the Dumas?

It makes me wonder if it wouldn't be possible to trace all of Kinbote to literary sources, more specifically to literary sources in children's literature. It might thereby be possible to discover what books were on the Shade bookshelves.
