History WMG / TheGraveyardBook

* Is this the ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' Alice, or the real life Liddell? Because her last descendent died in WWI.

He went by the nickname of "Ripper".

* You can ship Bod and {{Coraline}} instead, as Chris Riddell has illustrated the 10th anniversary edition of Coraline in the UK, and the artwork is glorious.

Let's see -- both heros are strange young boys whose names begin with "No-" that are unflattering puns "Abnorman" and "Nobody Owens", their respective stories were created by the 'makers' of {{Coraline}}, one the film production and one the original book, and both Norman and Bod [[ISeeDeadPeople can see dead people]], with a greater connection to the ghosts than the living. And that's where the parallels end.

She is clearly implied to be Death (and if you're wondering why Death's name is Susan, check out the {{Discworld}} pages--to make a long story short, Susan is Death's granddaughter). Her first role in the story is to urge the ghosts to take care of Bod; Susan is a teacher, and seems to have a fondness for children, or at least a desire to make sure they are taken care of. And there is no mention of her name in the book, so there's no reason it ''couldn't'' be Susan.

Also, Miss Lupescu is a [[TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse Silver Fang.]]

I always thought it would be cool to ship Alice and Bod. However, they're too far apart in time for that to happen. However, I think there's something very similar about them, especially in the illustrations (interesting fact: illustrator Chris Riddell is quite fond of the Alice books). Their eyes especially, have that same look about them.

... {{Coraline}} will at least cameo in it.

Why don't the rest of the ghosts realise that he's a wizard? Except for the witch, all the ghosts are muggles, and the witch is either blind to it, doesn't care or is capricious.

... Coraline will at least cameo in it.

This explains the secrecy about his life--he doesn't want Silas, Miss Lupescu, and the Honour Guard tracking him down.

[[WMG: The Lady On the Grey is named Susan.]]
