** Early drafts and editions of ''Literature/TheHobbit'' included references to policemen, lampposts, and China, which were eventually removed. ''The Hobbit'' still, however, includes a clock on Bilbo's mantlepiece; clockwork seems increasingly out of place as ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' progresses.[[note]]The lamppost in ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' was added by Creator/CSLewis as a jab at his friend Tolkien's comment that "no fantasy should have a lamppost".[[/note]]
