Q.
Q. asked Nyri A. Bakkalian:

Were there any particular inspirations for your book Grey Dawn?

Nyri A. Bakkalian Zeami Motokiyo's 15th century play "The Well-Cradle" (Izutsu), which is about the ghost of a woman who grew taller in her lover's long absence, and now, having clothed herself in their left behind court garb, is waiting for them to return to her. This is also why Grey Dawn is structured like a Noh play!
