Julian gave an exclamation and nudged George.

I had thought of The Land of Dreams, but I think that features in two books.
"Heyho for a starry night and a heathery bed!" - Jack, The Secret Island.

"There is no bond like the bond of having read and liked the same books."
- E. Nesbit, The Wonderful Garden.

:oops: Sorry! I checked the Wiki lists of lands in each book and couldn't see it more than once - but I'm quite prepared to take Anita's word over Wiki's any day of the week. :) Sorry if the clue was a dud! *slap wrist*

Sorry - one is Adventures of the Wishing-Chair and the other is one of the Faraway Tree books, I think The Magic Faraway Tree.

That clue only made me think of Metallica and Enter Sandman

I'm not going to guess this one as I've a very bad track record of not setting a new puzzle.

"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.

Yep, that was the idea - since the first character the children encounter when they enter the Land of Dreams is the Sandman (who throws sleepy sand into their eyes to trap them in the Land).
