* LeonineContract: {{Defied|Trope}} by the laws of the Market itself. Charity isn't allowed, but neither is extorting someone in need, and the Market is less tolerant of the latter than the former.
* NotRareOverThere: The Goblin Market is rich in wonders but short on writing implements, so Lundy fetches an excellent price for Earth pencils.

''In An Absent Dream'' is the fourth novella in the Wayward Children series by ''Creator/SeananMcGuire''. It tells the story of Katherine Lundy, one of the teachers in ''Literature/EveryHeartADoorway'', and her adventures in the Goblin Market.
This fourth entry and prequel tells the story of Lundy, a very serious young girl who would rather study and dream than become a respectable housewife and live up to the expectations of the world around her. As well she should.
When she finds a doorway to a world founded on logic and reason, riddles and lies, she thinks she's found her paradise. Alas, everything costs at the goblin market, and when her time there is drawing to a close, she makes the kind of bargain that never plays out well.
