1	* BasedOnADream: In the afterword of ''Lukundoo and Other Stories'', White claims that eight of the stories included came to him in his nightmares, that the ninth relays a friend's nightmare, and no mention at all is made of "Sorcery Island", which suggests that that particular story was a late addition after the afterword had already been written. Of "Amina", White only says that the ending he dreamt up surprised him. Because the story opens in the middle of things, it's unclear whether White refers to the end of the adventure, when the dead ghoul children are laid out in a row, or the end of the narrative, when Waldo learns that ghouls exist. He has, in any case, not dreamt up much more of the story, because it's largely adapted from "Literature/TheKingsSonAndTheSheGhoul", which he earlier adapted into the poem "Literature/TheGhoula". White does not acknowledge his earlier dealings with the classic tale in the afterword.
