Let's build a library to add to Tumnus' Is Man a Myth?

If Reepicheep were to have written memoirs of Beruna or the history of talking mice,
what would he have called it? What would Puddleglum's favorite recipe book be called?
What book would a Dufflepud write? Or Mr. Cornelius, or -- (insert your imagination) ?

Please suggest a title (and author) and then I will add it to this graphic:

Puddleglum's recipe book is too good to pass up. How about: Spices of Austerity: The Sombre Flavors of Marsh Cuisine?
 
Speculating beyond canonical characters:

If, at any time in the history of the Narnian world, any mer-person had extensive contact with land-dwellers, he or she might dictate a book to be distributed in Narnia. I say "dictate," because I can't imagine any sort of printing on paper being feasible underwater. The book, intended to give air-breathers an idea of what aquatic life was like, might be titled Life In Three Dimensions.
 
Love your contribution, Sopespian! I even gave you the book with the picture of Shakespeare on the spine ;)
 
"Jadis - The Greatest ever Ruler of Narnia "

by Zamron the Minotaur.

(For those who are wondering who Zamron was, he was my character from the RPG "With Sword, Claws and Teeth Bared")
 
It took me a while to update the shelf, but the Jadis tribute is done!
Corin, to view your book, drag the shelf photo to the left...
 
How about:

How to Properly Manage Your Traveling Companions by Eustace Clarence Scrubb

and

The Three Hundred Seventy-fifth Joke by The Jackdaw
 
How about, The Diary of Eustace Clarence Scrubb: How I Faced Talking Mice, Water Shortages, and Transformation into a Dragon... and Lived to Tell About It.
 
The Evils of Bridge-Building, by the River God
Human Bondage in the Case of Grave Economic Necessity, by Pug
The Superfluity of Light, by Glimfeather
 
The library is now updated here :)
Thanks to your collaboration, Professor Digory Kirke and the Jackdaw, we have the bookshelf filled except for 3 titles. Anyone have a suggestion for Reepicheep's memoirs??
 
Happy New Year!
We have almost filled all the titles on this shelf :)

I am adding Deeper Magic Before the Dawn of Time by the Emperor beyond the East, but that still leaves one (or maybe 2 titles if the 2nd is very brief)

Here is the updated shelf.
 
The Eternal Sunset: A Journey to the Western Edge of the World, by Hobin, Lord Balburn
