Trivia[]
- Although the wording of the synopsis quoted from a press release implies that Prospero was responsible for both the problem with the Library and the massive storm that threatened Manhattan, he actually had nothing to do with what was happening in the Library. However, it was his scheme to regain his book that caused the Clippings book to send the Librarians to the Museum of History on four different missions, and it was their decision to pursue them each on their own instead of sharing information and working together that caused the Librarians to fail to prevent Prospero from getting the items he needed to regain his book and much of his power.
- When Prospero opens the book to summon Moriarty, it appears to have been opened to "The Adventure of the Dancing Men" as the line of stick figures in the story can be seen.
