Byatt is clearly a writer for whom the fictional worlds within fictional worlds matter a great deal, but she is not alone in this. The Children's Book (2009) is also about a writer who writes special stories for her own children. For example, The Biographer's Tale (2001) features the writing of a biography about a biographer.
