Line 10:
It is on the grounds of the ''King Lear'' lines that Joseph Jacobs called the King of Elfland's palace "the Dark Tower" in his version, as this name was not in the immediate source he used.
 
"Childe Rowland" has been referenced in many works, including [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[Dark Tower]]'' series, Lord Dunsany's 1924 novel ''The King of Elfland's Daughter'', Alan Garner's 1965 novel ''Elidor'', [[Terry Pratchett]]'s ''[[Discworld/The Wee Free Men|The Wee Free Men]]'' and even [[Alastair Reynolds]]' 2003 novella ''Diamond Dogs''. The fairy tale was also used in Martin Carthy's song "Jack Rowland" and a radio drama based on the tale.
