* The first [[Lord Peter Wimsey]] novel, ''Whose Body?'', is in the public domain in the US and Canada, but not in the UK or Europe.
* Most, if not all, of [[G. K. Chesterton]]'s characters are this, due to his publishing them in the nineteenth century. They're not often used for this purpose, but [[Father Brown]] has been known to have a [[Cameo]] here and there.
* All the books featured in the pioneering e-book endeavor The Gutenberg Project are, in theory, supposed to be in the public domain (with the exception of a few for which the creators have specifically given permission). Many of the examples listed above are in fact available though Gutenberg.
* Prester John and John Mandeville in ''[[Dirge for Prester John]]''.
