Interview #938: AMOL Signing Report - Anna Hornbostel, Entry #3

Question

With the changeover from the young adult and the adult version, how much do you have to cut out for you to [say it’s] appropriate for young children?

Harriet McDougal

None. What was done was that there was a forward, I guess you’d say, or a prologue written by my husband for the first volume of The Eye of the World in the YA version.

Brandon Sanderson

Yeah, but they didn’t actually cut anything out; they just split the books into smaller volumes to entice the young readers into reading them. (laughter)

Harriet McDougal

That’s right. And they got bigger type.

Footnote

The split version of The Eye of the World consists of From the Two Rivers and To the Blight . The extra prologue is called “Ravens”; it’s an Egwene POV from when she was a child.
