“I have explored Ancelstierre and the Old Kingdom a little in my novels Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen, and in the process I have found out (for that's often what it feels like, even though I'm the one making it up) quite a lot about these lands, the people and creatures that inhabit them, and their stories.”
