Novel
- Aluminum Christmas Trees: According to sources from the time, there really was a hunchback living in Paris' financial district during Philippe d'Orléans' regency, and he really made a living by getting paid to allow people to sign papers on his twisted back (exploiting a superstition saying it brings good luck). His real identity and fate are a mystery.
- Americans Hate Tingle: Numerous American works (Period Piece movies especially) have been based off classics of French Literature for decades, but strangely never on Le Bossu.
