CABINET OF DR CALIGARI, THE (1919) A further loose remake was Dr Caligari (1990).
CALENDAR It should be noted that the pagan feasts are tied to the solstices and equinoxes more firmly than, because of calendar drift, is today immediately obvious.
CALVINO, ITALO Cosmicomics was originally published in Italian is 1965, not 1963.
IC's Italian folktale collection was previously translated. The reference should therefore read: "Fiabe Italiane (coll 1956; trans Louis Brigante as Italian Fables 1959 US; new trans George Martin as Italian Fables 1980 US)". The 1980 translation is very much longer than the 1959: we have not been able to confirm if this is because the 1959 translation was cut or if the later translation is of an expanded Italian edition.
CAMERON, ELEANOR Died 1996.
CANADA For "Charles Saunders" read "Charles R. SAUNDERS". The JLT credited for the second section of this entry, on French-Canadian fantasy, is Jean-Louis Trudel – embarrassingly omitted from the original Contributors list.

DARK CRYSTAL, THE For World of the Dark Crystal, read The World of the Dark Crystal. J.J. Llewelyn should be J.J. Llewellyn.

DE LA MARE, WALTER As we state on page 260, WDLM's bibliography is tangled; most of his stories, for instance, seem to have undergone revision (sometimes more than once) in moving from magazine to subsequent book publications. We do not normally attempt to unravel these complications, but the first volume of WDLM's complete short stories, Walter de la Mare: Short Stories 1895-1926 (coll 1996) ed Giles de la Mare provides detailed information. We state that he wrote about 100 short stories. Giles de la Mare lists 102: 95 published stories plus 7 previously unpublished stories due to appear in a following volume. We can now provide fuller ascriptions for stories mentioned specifically in the entry: "The Village of Old Age" (1896 Cornhill Magazine); "The Moon's Miracle" (1897 Cornhill Magazine); "The Creatures" (1920 Monthly Review); "A Recluse" (in The Ghost Book, anth 1926, ed Cynthia ASQUITH); "Crewe" (1929 London Mercury); "The Green Room" (in Two Tales, coll 1925 chap); "The House" (1932 The Observer); "The Three Sleeping Boys of Warwickshire" (1925 Virginia Quarterly).

DE LINT, CHARLES For "The Little People" read "The Little Country". For "Merlin Dreams in the Moondream Wood" read "Merlin Dreams in the Mondream Wood".

DEVIL RIDES OUT, THE (1968) For "Mocato" read "Mocata".

DICKSON, GORDON R. Died 2001. GRD was uncredited as the editor of those works listed under As editor.

DISNEY In the second column on page 274, it is incorrect to refer to a tv series called Frontierland: "Frontierland" was a strand of the tv series Disneyland. On page 275, for "Kapra's" read "Capra's". On page 277, Pocahontas went on general release in 1995, not 1994. On that same page, for "The Muppet Christmas Carol" read "The Muppet Christmas Carol". Both The LITTLE MERMAID and ALADDIN have spawned animated tv series, from 1992 and 1993 respectively.

DOLLS Further titles of relevance are Rachel FIELD's Hitty, Her First Hundred Years (1929) and Jane Louise Curry's Mindy's Mysterious Miniature (1970).
DON JUAN George Bernard Shaw should appear as George Bernard SHAW. Shaw's Man and Superman should be dated not 1905 but 1903; in the discussion of this work, for "has Juan is" read "Juan is". Don Juan in Hell (1951 US) presents the relevant act from the full play.
DOUGLAS, CAROLE NELSON There are two initial titles in the Midnight Louie sequence, as parts of these books are narrated by Louie: Crystal Days (1990) and Crystal Nights (1990).
DRACULA MOVIES William Marshall played the eponym of Blacula (who is African rather than Caribbean), in which movie Dracula himself (played by Charles Macauly) also appeared. Blacula was not a commercial disaster: it was promptly sequelled by Scream, Blacula, Scream (1972). In The Brides of Dracula the actress Yvonne Monlaur played the character Marianne Danielle, not the other way round. Mama Dracula was made in 1980, not 1988.
DRAGONS The reference in the second paragraph to The Lord of the Rings should be to The Hobbit (1937).
DREADSTONE, CARL More precisely, CD is a house name used for three titles by Ramsey CAMPBELL.

DREYER, CARL TH(EODOR) There is evidence that Vampyr may have been released in early 1930 or 1931, not 1932.
DUCKTALES: THE MOVIE House style obscures the title's proper capitalization: DuckTales. The Genie in this movie has the classic yearning to become a REAL BOY.
DUMAS, ALEXANDRE Full ascription: Le Meneur de Loups (1857; trans Alfred Allinson as The Wolf-Leader 1904 UK; cut trans L Sprague DE CAMP vt The Wolf Leader 1950 US).
