The Indian in the Cupboard/Trivia

• Reality Subtext: Happens a number of times, most memorably and effectively when in book two Omri tries to bring Tommy back to heal Little Bear, only to find he'd been killed in World War I, and again in book four when awakening the figures belonging to Jessica Charlotte reveals Sergeant Ellis died at Trafalgar. The last book, dealing with the Real Life fate of the Iroquois versus the American colonists, is even more about this.
