  • Wikipedia also covers a 1960 sequel "with Storr focusing on the trials of growing up rather than magical happenings, although there is arguably a fantastic subtext in Marianne and Mark". Marianne is 10 years old at the end of Marianne Dreams, 15 at the beginning of the sequel.
  • Even under its common title, this novel is sometimes called The Magic Drawing Pencil (series) #1; for instance at Amazon and Goodreads.
