Difference between revisions of "The Hope of Elantris"

Brandon got the idea to write this story in January 2006, as he was dating his wife Emily. Emily mentions one of her eighth grade students has done a book report on [[Elantris]]. Matisse, the student, had done an outstanding job on her book report. There were detailed bios of the characters and even some materials you would find in the book. Brandon was moved by her report and wrote this companion story, with Matisse’s name as the lead character in honor to her. When Brandon and Emily were married, Matisse gave the book report to Brandon as a wedding gift.{{citebws ref|annotation-The-Hope-of-Elantris|The Hope of Elantris|date=2006-01}}
