More About the Author

Christopher Paolini was born on November 17, 1983 in Southern California. He has lived most of his life in Paradise Valley, Montana with his parents and younger sister, Angela. As a child, he often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. The idea of Eragon began as the daydreams of a teen. Christopher's love for the magic of stories led him to craft a novel that he would enjoy reading. The project began as a hobby, a personal challenge; he never intended it to be published. All the characters in Eragon are from Christopher's imagination except Angela the herbalist, who is loosely based on his sister. Christopher was fifteen when he wrote the first draft of Eragon. He took a second year to revise the book and then gave it to his parents to read. The family decided to self-publish the book and spent a third year preparing the manuscript for publication: copyediting, proofreading, designing a cover, typesetting the manuscript, and creating marketing materials. During this time Christopher drew the map for Eragon, as well as the dragon eye for the book cover (that now appears inside the Knopf hardcover edition). The manuscript was sent to press and the first books arrived in November 2001. The Paolini family spent the next year promoting the book at libraries, bookstores, and schools in 2002 and early 2003. In summer 2002, author Carl Hiaasen, whose stepson read a copy of the self-published book while on vacation in Montana, brought Eragon to the attention of his publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, which is part of Random House. Knopf published Eragon in August 2003. Eldest, which continues the adventures of Eragon and the dragon Saphira was published in August 2005, and in December 2006, Fox 2000 released their movie adaptation of Eragon in theaters around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eragon, May 21, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Eragon (Inheritance Cycle) (Spanish Edition) (Audio CD)

Thousands of years ago in the country of Aligashia, magic and dragons were discovered. One day, a farm boy named Eargon, went to hunt in the Spine. He came back with a giant blue stone. But when days went by, the blue "stone" hatched.

And that's when the adventure begins for Eragon and his new dragon Saphira. Eragon and Saphira are constantly being told that they are the ones that can stop Gallbitorix because now the rest of the 4 sworn are dead.
Mr. Paolini expresses his amazing imagination from his Montana home. When Christopher was old enough to write, he wrote down stories. He grew up telling his mother these stories that lead to his seirees Eragon.
I really LOVED this book. It is great for children AND adults. I could connect to all the characters even thgouh my world isn't fantasy. I recommend this book to anyone that loved the Harry Potter seirees. If you like fantasy, I ask you to read this book!! Enjoy but be careful because once you eneter the great world of imagination, you will never want to or come back!
