Dear reader,
the prince of mist is the first novel ever puplished, and it marked the beggining of my career as a writer in 1992. Readers familiar with my later work, such as the shadow of the wind or The Angel's game, may not know that my first four novels were originally puplished as young adult books. Although they are mainly aimed at young readers, my hope was that they would appeal to readers of all ages. In creating those books, I tried to write the kind of novels that I would have liked to read as a kid, but that also would continue to interest me at the age of twenty-three, or forty, ir eighty-three.
For years the rights to these books were "trapped" in a legal dispute but now can finally be. enjoyed by readers around the world. Since their original puplication, these earlier works of mine have fortunately been well received by those who are young, and those who are not so young. I like. to believe that storytelling transcends age limitations, and I hope readers of my adult novels will be tempted tempted to explore these stories of magic, mystery, and adventure. Lastly, to all new readers, I hope you will come to enjoy these novels too as you. begin your own adventures inside the world if books.
Safe travels,
