Trivia

• In the manuscript of The Magicians, the sixth edition of Fillory and Further written by Jane Chatwin, she mentions capturing a Questing Creature in order to acquire the ability to enter Fillory freely. Penny, the only person to have read it, misremembers the creature to either be a dog, a pig or a ferret.
  • It is now generally assumed that the animal was in fact the White Lady.
