Bilbo's Otherworld journey has further parallels in writings of Tolkien's own. The figure of the mortal who sails from the quotidian world to a paradise beyond the sea is a motif that recurs in Tolkien's poems and stories throughout his creative life. Examples are Roverandom, Eriol in The Book of Lost Tales, Tuor in Quenta Silmarillion, Ar-Pharazôn in Akallabêth, Ælfwine in The Lost Road, St Brendan in Imram, Sam and Gimli in The Lord of the Rings and the narrator of The Sea-Bell in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.
