Congratulations on the publication--it's a lovely poem, with an interesting combination of things in it.

Thank you!

I've been a bit uncomfortable with it, on the grounds that they seemed to have made such unnecessarily substantial changes from the book.

I am in the rare position of never having read the original books; I understand they're quite different. But what they were adapted into did not register to me as the usual Hollywood bastardization, if that helps.
