 The provenance of the story is sometimes explained internally, as in "The Lord of the Rings" by J. R. R. Tolkien, which depicts the Red Book of Westmarch (a story-internal version of the book itself) as a history compiled by several of the characters.The subtitle of "The Hobbit" ("There and Back Again") is depicted as part of a rejected title of this book within a book, and "The Lord of the Rings" is a part of the final title.An example of an interconnected inner story is "The Mad Trist" in Edgar Allan Poe's "Fall of the House of Usher", where through somewhat mystical means the narrator's reading of the story within a story influences the reality of the story he has been telling, so that what happens in "The Mad Trist" begins happening in "The Fall of the House of Usher".
