Appearances and Adaptations in Other Works
The heroine of Mary Stewart's The Ivy Tree (1961) uses Brat Farrar as a model when impersonating the missing heir to an estate. She describes the book as "the best of them all".
Tey is mentioned in the Stephen King novella, Apt Pupil (1982).
Tey appears as a main character in a series of novels by Nicola Upson called the "Josephine Tey Mysteries". An Expert in Murder (2008), the first in the series, is a detective story woven around the original production of Richard of Bordeaux.
The Daughter of Time influenced later mystery writers, notably Barbara Mertz. Mertz, writing as Elizabeth Peters, refers explicitly to Tey in "The Murders of Richard the Third," which sets a country house murder mystery among a group who believe that Richard III was innocent.)
