The Book The 10th Kingdom By Kathryn Wesley The 10th Kingdom had one book version that is currently (and unfortunately) out of print. Although it mostly remains true to the movie, it has its differences. That's because the book was based on an earlier version of the script. Here's a few of the differences, which you probably shouldn't read if you haven't read the book and are planning on doing so. ~Golden fish~ I'm wondering why this was changed, since I think the book version was actually better. But it starts off with Tony and Wolf discussing fishing, and bonding. It seems there is only one fish in the river and it is *suprise suprise* a magic fish. Of course Tony catches it, and he ends up receiving his "goldfinger" only after he agrees to set the fish free. Some very funny Wolf-Tony exchange lines (the best ones always are) here. Read the book if only for this. ~Beautiful Sheep/Shepherdess Contest~ Instead of the new lyrics to "We Will Rock You," Virginia sings "Mary Had a Little Lamb." (Which is the first "sheep" song that came to my mind anyway, considering my first name.) ~The Deadly Swamp~ Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" plays instead of "A Whiter Shade of Pale." The faries never separate Tony and Virginia. (They do however, give them the warnings.) Father and daughter arrive, still chained to one another, at the home of "The Swamp Witch." Instead of finding Acorn, as in the movie, Clayface resides there. (I heard a rumor that this was because the actor who played Clayface, Jimmy Nail, had to go on tour rather then film more of the movie. This does rather make sense, since apparently he's a british rockstar.) Tony and Virginia are separated by Clayface, who uses a mace. ~The Trolls~ Did anyone just viewing the miniseries ever wonder about the fate of the trolls, Blabberwort, Burly, and Blubell? I know I did. I think the book was a lot nicer to them. In it they are sentenced to death, but Tony speaks up for them and they end up being the future rulers of the Troll Kingdom. Happy endings are ever so nice. * ~ * ~ * Thanks to Michelle for the following differences additions. -Wolf is with them when they go see Clayface in the swamp. -The scene in which Virginia is lying down in the glass coffin is cut short and doesn't really mention it. -The part where Wolf waits for Virginia to wake up is different in the book it is later, when she is already dressed up and she is near a window.
