Book about tin, fashioned in fabled place (8)

I believe the answer is:

atlantis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fabled place' is the definition.
'atlantis' can be an answer for 'place' (I have seen 'fabulous place' mean 'atlantis' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'atlantis'). I am unsure of the 'fabled' bit.

'book about tin fashioned' is the wordplay.
'book' becomes 'atlas' (atlas is a kind of book).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'fashioned' indicates an anagram.
'tin' with letters rearranged gives 'nti'.
'atlas' going around 'nti' is 'ATLANTIS'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for atlantis that I've seen before include "Fabled lost continent" , "Mysterious continent" , "Mythical lost city" , "Fabled lost realm" , "In Greek legend, a beautiful island swallowed up by sea" .)
