"Saya membaca banyak fantasi. Saya mengagumi 'Anne of Green Gables'. Tetapi buku favorit saya sebagai seorang anak mungkin seri 'Rumah Kecil' Laura Ingalls Wilder, tentang keluarga perintis di Amerika bagian barat abad ke-19. Saya sering memikirkan mereka ketika saya menulis 'The Last Runaway'."

--- Tracy Chevalier

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I read a lot of fantasy. I adored 'Anne of Green Gables'. But my favourite books as a child were probably Laura Ingalls Wilder's 'Little House' series, about a pioneer family in the mid-19th-century American west. I often thought of them as I was writing 'The Last Runaway'.
