The "Pied Piper of Hamelin" article, in the section on 20th century versions of the story, should include Padraic Colum, "The Children Who Followed the Piper," 1922, a novel in which the Piped Piper is Mercury, who leads the children to the land where the no-longer-worshipped Roman/Greek gods live. Most of the children settle happily there; three leave for a fairytale-but-human land.

Subterranean Fiction
This article should perhaps include mention of _Yama Yama Land_ by Grace Duffie Boylan (Chicago: Reilly & Britton, 1909), a children's book which, like L. Frank Baum's 1908 _Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz_ uses the great San Francisco Earthquake as a way to open a road for the child Sylvia to an underground kingdom.
