Those are also featured at some point in one of the books in the Narnia series! The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, I believe…

They were called “Duffers” in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duffer_%28Narnia%29
It’s been twenty years or so since I read that book; amazing, how quickly it comes back.

I believe CS Lewis also called them monopods.
They were under a curse of invisibility. -

Well it’s about time to pick it up again. Or better yet the whole series. There is much in the Chronicles that is written for adults; I’ve read the whole series a number of times (each of the books can be finished on a Sunday afternoon) and something new hits me every time.

A sciopod is also featured in another book, ‘Baudolino’, by Umberto Eco, a historical fiction novel based partly on early stories of the kingdom of Prester John in the 13th century. Not quite reading material for adolescents, though I remember reading “The Name of the Rose” in high school. For anyone interested in medieval history, Umberto Eco’s novels are great reads.
