"Then she sat by the fire, staring into the depths, half-dreaming, watching the golden castles in the flames, the towers that glowed and smouldered and fell wtih a silent clatter of gilded walls. She gazed at the flames, jagged like the antlers of the stags in the forest. They were soft as fur, they blew together in pointed tongues.

Lewis, The Horse and His Boy

"Kip is a boy called Christopher, only he never is. Never is called that, I mean." ~Edward Eager, The Well-Wishers
