Best Fictional Author (21 books)

This is the place for books who have fictionalised authors that do not exist in our real world. This is different from authors who use pseudonyms; a real-life author must be pretending that a third-party has written the book. I am including S. Morgenstern's The Princess Bride, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander and Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Wisp.
