Literary Halloween costumes

Most of these ideas

sounded sort of blah, except for dressing as Gulliver (it's a cinch that most SCA folks have the poofy shirt and boots) and I also liked the _Phantom Tollbooth_ idea, which would be a cinch for any guide dog user. My idea for someone with a guide dog (although on the whole, I think making your dog wear a costume is cruel and unusual) is Sherlock Holmes and the hound of the Baskervilles, which is basically a deerstalker cap, one of those squiggly pipes (I wonder if you can find those as bubble pipes?), and a dark-haired dog, perhaps with a little bit of whipping cream foam around the mouth.

Seems like there are a wide variety of dog-guide possibilities: Roman chariots, Frankish wagons, Mormon pioneers — all combine human & beast.
