    Fiddler's Green is a place within the Dreaming, some years after Dream was captured by Roderick Burgess, he decided to assume the form of a man and made his way to the waking world to live like a regular person. It's in the Doll's House story arc in which he plays a very important role, helping Rose Walker to find his brother Jed.
