List Of Fictional Books

A Fictional Book is a non-existent book created specifically for (i.e. within) a work of Fiction . Such a book may (1) provide the basis of the Novel 's Plot , (2) add Verisimilitude by supplying plausible background, or (3) act as a common thread in a series of books or the works of a particular Writer or Canon of work. A fictional book may also (4) be used as a Conceit to illustrate a story within a story, or (5) be essentially a Joke title, thus helping to establish the Humor ous or Satirical Tone of the work. (Fictional books used as Hoax es or as purported support for actual research are usually referred to as False Document s.)

Examples

Several stories in Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges ' Short Story collection entitled '' Ficciones '' are Reviews of fictional books; in this case, the fictional book is the basis of the story. As an example of the second use of fictional books, Susanna Clarke 's '' Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell '' includes scholarly Footnote s to invented biographies, magical texts, newspapers and journals to add to the realism of the story. H. P. Lovecraft 's '' Necronomicon '' might be considered an example of the third usage, since it appears as a recurring Motif in several of the Cthulhu Mythos stories. Many (but not all) of the fictional books mentioned in the work of Douglas Adams are of the joke title variety.

Inclusion criteria

This is a list of fictional books that appear in literature — that is, books and other print media. Fictional books that appear in other media, such as television shows, are listed in List Of Fictional Books From Non-book Media .

This is ''not'' a list of works of Fiction (i.e., actual Novel s, Mysteries , etc), but rather imaginary books that do not actually exist. The fictional books on this list are ordered alphabetically under the name of the actual Author who invented them.

Tom Riddle's Diary

''The Tales of Beedle the Bard'' is a book of children's stories which is mentioned in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows .

In his will, Albus Dumbledore left it to Hermione Granger , stating that he hopes Hermione will find it "entertaining and instructive." The book contains children's stories that children from wizarding families such as Ron Weasley are familiar with. Having been raised by Muggles, neither Harry Potter nor Hermione had heard of these stories before.

The book contains a fairy tale called "The Tale of the Three Brothers", which tells the legend of the Deathly Hallows . Other stories mentioned to have originated from Beedle the Bard are "The Fountain of Fair Fortune," "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot," and "Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump."
