Line 55:
* ''Baltimore, or, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire'' by [[Hellboy (comics)|Mike Mignola]] and Christopher Golden is an arguably very well done version of this, in that each individual story furthers the overarching plot. What prevents it from being a [[Rashomon]] or [[Perspective Flip]] is that each character is merely telling the piece of the story they know: there are also plenty of other side stories slipped in, and it almost ignores the overarching plot while the stories are being told.
* The ''Dream Park'' novels have elements of this, as the fantasy story of each game-scenario is embedded within a mystery about industrial espionage, all in a sci-fi context.
* ''Tales of a Wayside Inn'' is a series of narrative poems about a bevy of intellectual friends [[You All Meet in An Inn|meeting]] at an Inn [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin| to tell tales.]]
* Poul Anderson's version of ''Hrolf Krakki's Saga'' is put in the mouth of a female Danish storyteller visiting [[Anglo Saxons|King Athalstan's]] court.
