Adrienne asked Melissa Albert:

Did you write the Tales before you wrote The Hazel Wood? My book club just finished The Hazel Wood and the question came up about which is the chicken and which is the egg!

Melissa Albert I think I'm answering too late for the purposes of your book club, BUT: I wrote the table of contents for the Tales very early in the writing of The Hazel Wood, and had some small sense of what the tales felt and sounded like. But I didn't write (most of) them until after the duology had been written!
