I've used a couple "hero storybooks" in some RP with Chachan. He keeps a collection of them, all of them with rather noticeable similarities to stories in the real world.
The Stupendous Mining Brothers
Type: Book Series
"What're we gonna do now, Mamaggio?" Luluggahj questioned his stout older brother, peering worriedly at the swarm of Bombs heading their way from beneath the imagined security of his mining helmet. Mamaggio scratched idly at his sidewhiskers in thought before noticing one unexploded Bomb from the initial attack.
"You know what they say," Mamaggio stated, rolling the Bomb towards him with the toe of his boot before kicking it up into his hand with surprising deftness. "Bombs can always bomb Bombs."
Public Knowledge: Relatively well-known as an enjoyable, if somewhat oddball and childish, book series rumored to be vaguely based off the Lalafellan brothers of the Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern.
Description: A currently ongoing series of adventures about a pair of Lalafellan Miners who stumbled into a strange world under attack by an evil Adamantoise.
Where to find it?: Booksellers, most notably around Ul'dah.

The Couerl Prince
Type: Fantasy Book
"Happybe worrynot."
"... What?" Sander asked, looking at the pair of beastmen in confusion.
"Happybe worrynot," the Goblin repeated with a little dance, spinning around the young couerl. "Goodsaying be!"
"Happybe worrynot," the Qirin echoed, giving an eager nod. "As good as shinies to me."
Public Knowledge: A storybook that has come under fire somewhat for painting the Noscean beastmen in a positive light, but copies still seem to circulate despite the Maelstrom's general dislike of the story.
Description: A tale of the young couerl Sander, raised to be the King of the Jungle, whose birthright is stolen when his uncle's machinations result in Sander's father being trampled to death by goobbues.
Where to find it?: Booksellers.
