Emily Munn asked Erin Morgenstern:

When you were writing The Night Circus, how many different tents did you come up with? More than you added in the book?

Erin Morgenstern There were definitely more tents, I’m not certain how many, I’d have to go back and look at old notes and bits and pieces. Some of them didn’t make it into the book because there wasn’t enough of a moment to anchor an entire section or I couldn’t figure out how to condense a more complicated tent into a manageable size to read. Most of them make an appearance somewhere in the book, I had a long second person ride on the carousel at one point that proved too long for the book but the carousel itself is still there.
