Anna Bradburn asked Sarah Arthur:

Yes I remember that chapter! I remember underlining it, It was Elizabeth Goudge, George MacDonald, Frances Hodgson Burnett, J.R.R Tolkien, and quite a lot of others! What a good list. I did have another question though, do you do Tapestry weaving? Or embroidery? I loved that you put that element into your book.

Sarah Arthur As it happens, my sister Abigail Deloria is a master fiber artist based in Northern Michigan, so you can see her influence throughout the series. But of course, weaving is an ancient art that shows up in lots of cultures and mythologies, so it was fun to evoke those elements in my books :)
