Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King

I'm reading William Joyce's Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King. One of its many charms is that, in the old-fashioned way, the chapters have individual titles. Some of my favorites:

Chapter Seven, Is Not Really a Chapter at All -- Just a Piece of the Greater Puzzle

Chapter Eight, Where the Impossible Occurs with Suprising Regularity

Chapter Eleven, In Which Wisdom Is Proven to Be a Tricky Customer Indeed

There is also a very minor character (who comes to a bad end) named Gregor of the Mighty Stink. Reading that, I had the same reaction as, in the story, a moonbeam has when it encounters Gregor in person:

Yikes!
