And yet what is funny is that I did use the Flower Fairies books, for research. (Well, and very early inspiration, since I'd read and loved them as a kid but always kind of wondered what the grown-up flower fairies looked like.)

I'm just waiting for somebody to say Watership Down.

I doubt that they would, the protagonists aren't animals. Yes, I can see the connections, but comparing Knife with Watership Down wouldn't do for pigeonhole-y purposes.

Edit: and because I was staring, I forgot to also agree that the Flower Fairies books are very inspiring.

I have the entire set.

...and my cat, who is very odd indeed, has just leaped up on the desk and walked off with one of my pens in her mouth. Now she's playing hockey with it all over the kitchen.

Heh. I used to have a bookmark featuring two cartoon kitties staring eagerly at a cluttered desktop and the caption 'Cats Love to Help!'. Says it all, really.

Yeah, tell me about it. Owing to the cover dilemma I'm having real trouble deciding whether to pre-order from Amazon.uk or wait for the fun of seeing it on Chapters' shelves...hey, wait, which cover do we get here in Canada, anyway?

Canada gets the US cover, since it's being distributed through HarperCollins Canada. Australia and New Zealand get the UK cover. I'll be interested, if I get any foreign rights sales, to see what other countries decide to do with it...
