I had been taking him to doctors and somehow those two things came together for me. He was four years old and he still didn't speak. I kept writing The Folk Keeper and Nathaniel kept growing and growing but he didn't speak. When I finished it Miranda said, "You should write a novel about that story," and I said, "Yes, I really should," so I tucked that idea away. It was from Maid of the North: Feminist Folktales from Around the World. While I was still working on The Folk Keeper, my daughter was five and my son, Nathaniel, was two, and I read one of the changeling stories to Miranda and it was terrific.
