One of the lesser-known works of [[Lewis Carroll]], this novel runs two parallel plots, one in [[Like Reality Unless Noted|something like the real world]] and one in Elf-land, [[Two Lines, No Waiting|both]] accessed by the not-particularly-interesting-in-himself [[The Ishmael|narrator]]. The Elf-land plot involves the King standing down, for obscure reasons, in favour of his [[Most Definitely Not a Villain]] [[Evil Uncle|brother]] and "Sub-Warden", and [[Evil Chancellor|his]] [[The Dragon|chancellor]], leaving his two kids, the titular Sylvie and Bruno, as [[Heartwarming Orphan]]s. The sort-of-real world plot involves a romance slightly complicated by a [[Romantic False Lead|third party]] and oddly unaffected by the presence of a visitor from another planet/plane called Mein Herr, who is for some reason German-accented.
