- 'East of the Sun, West of the Moon': a fairly well-known phrase used a.o.
- by Tolkien in a poem, by Theodore Roosevelt for a book on hunting, and by
- pop-group Aha as an album title. It originally is the title of an old
- Scandinavian fairy tale, and can be found in a book by Kay Nielsen
- [title, anybody?]. Terry has confirmed that this book was his source for
- the phrase.
