How this is made

Some of this is made by hand and some of it is made by machine. Here is which.

Written by a person, always

The stories. Every word Eric says. The letters. What happens in Elmsham and who lives there. Trevor Field told these stories aloud in the 1990s, and his son wrote them down.

Made with a machine

The pictures are generated to a locked style and then chosen, corrected and approved by hand — nothing reaches a page without a person deciding it belongs there.

The narration is one licensed synthetic voice. It is not Trevor, and it is not pretending to be.

Never

Stories written by a machine. A copy of anyone’s voice without their written permission. Any child’s drawing, message or data used to train anything.

If you ask
