Sequels
A second novel, David Blaize and the Blue Door, set in David's early childhood, was published in 1918.[2] In contrast to the first book, it is a fantasy in the style of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, set in a dream landscape permeated with nonsense.[3]
David of King's (published in the United States as David Blaize of King's) is Benson's 1924 sequel to David Blaize.[4] It follows David's university career at King's College, Cambridge. It was also re-published in 2010 with a new introduction and literary notes by Dr. Craig Paterson for Viewforth Press.[5]
