Edward Champion's Return of the Reluctant

"Union of Two Belief Systems" Along With Singing Robots Added to "Earthsea" Adaptation

Ursula K. Le Guin: "When I tried to suggest the unwisdom of making radical changes to characters, events, and relationships which have been familiar to hundreds of thousands of readers all over the world for over thirty years, I was sent a copy of the script and informed that production was already under way. So, for the record: there is no statement in the books, nor did I ever intend to make a statement, about 'the union of two belief systems.' There's nothing at all about the 'duality of spirituality and paganism,' whatever that means, either." (via Neil Gaiman.)
