===Books=== * Old Father Time appears in the fantasy novel series ''[[Nightside (book series)|Nightside]]'' by [[Simon R. Green]], as an elderly character tending to peoples' needs for time travel—and in some cases—guidance. * Father Time appears in the fairy tale themed short story, written by [[L. Frank Baum]]. Entitled "The Capture of Father Time". That Father Time was captured by the son of an Arizonian cowboy named Jim because of his foolishness. * Time is one of the ''[[Incarnations of Immortality]]'' in [[Piers Anthony]]'s series of the same name. Time (also referred to as "Chronos") appears in several of the books and is the main character of ''[[Bearing an Hourglass]]''. For most of the series he appears as a middle-aged man in a blue robe (which has the power to age to oblivion anything which attacks him) and bearing an hourglass which he can use to control the flow of time and move through both time and space. * Father Time is painted in the ceiling of the dungeon, in the [[Edgar Allan Poe]]'s short story "[[The Pit and the Pendulum]]". * In [[Mitch Albom]]'s book ''[[The Time Keeper]]'', Dor, the central character, is Father Time. He is freed from exile and sent to Earth on the condition that he teaches two people on Earth the true importance of time, a teenage girl who does not wish to live anymore, and a dying old billionaire who wishes to live forever. * "Little Father Time" is a character in ''[[Jude the Obscure]]'', a novel by [[Thomas Hardy]]. The name is given to Jude Fawley's son, who is dreadfully melancholy and who commits suicide and kills his siblings at a young age. * Father Time also appears in [[C. S. Lewis]]' novels ''[[The Silver Chair]]'' and ''[[The Last Battle]]'' which are the final two novels (chronologically) in the series ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]''. * In Lewis Carroll's [[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]], he is referred to as Time and is responsible for making the [[Hatter (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)|Hatter]] and his friends to have an endless tea party as punishment.
