Is there anything about the items and their descriptions that tie them to the book?

I think the emerald staff is from dragonlance also.

Don't forget Daybreak!

This is for the Reading Drive prizes, Daybreak was an old Trivia prize. Anyways, thanks for putting together that list Terra. I got a lot of these off the bat (Fahrenheit 451 references ahh ❤!) but I was having a hard time finding some books while going through the allusions thread.

Whistler looks a lot like the description of the witches in the book Witches by Roald Dahl.

This is a guess, mind you!

Okay, thanks. I went ahead and edited the list.

No problem! :)

Its nice having the list all in one place.

Just FYI, its A Little Princess, not The.

Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out. It's been corrected.

This list is amazing, thank you so much! I thought there were only a few things I wanted from the shop but now that I see references to more books that I love I may be in need of more book collecting!

I thought the map of hell was a reference to Dante's Inferno. D:

All of them are so clever! I love it. =)

It is. But Inferno is just the first part of Divine Comedy.

Beetle Plumpkin! That's a reference to the Beatrix potter story The Tale of Squirell Nutkin! Beetles wrapped in plum leaves are one of the gifts the squirell's give to Old Mr Owl.

Thanks! It's been added.

I'm pretty sure is a reference to the Neverending Story.

I dunno. The Nothing didn't look like night. It didn't look like anything. It was Nothing. And it didn't actively feed on anything, did it? It just spread.

made me run around squealing joyously, I'm totally getting it for Lovecraft's treasure, and the made me really happy too, as that was one of the parts from the Little Prince I loved best.

I'm thinking that this is a Connecticut Yankee in King Aurthur's Court. I could be wrong though. I only read the first half. D':

The waxy claw references a crown-of-thorns plant. So maybe the item references the Bible?

And the battered war journal could possibly be All Quiet on the Western Front.

I don't think the tiny invasive alien is from Starship Troopers, perhaps it's from "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator", referencing the vermicious knid.

I heard someone else mention it in a different thread, and I have to agree. I think the Shadow Owl is a reference to Garth Nix's "Seventh Tower" series. In the Seventh Tower books, when a child turns thirteen, they go into a shadow realm and bind a "spiritshadow" to themselves, which can no longer stray from their new master. The description of the "Shadow Owl" is "One of the few shadows that still retain some freedom. It can still fly relatively far from its master". That fits the Seventh Tower a lot better than His Dark Materials, for which we already have the Mysterious Truth-telling Device and Armored Anu Plushie.
