Patrick Rothfuss THE NAME OF THE WIND The Kingkiller Chronicle: Day One
To my mother, who taught me to love books and opened the door to Narnia, Pern, and Middle Earth. And to my father, who taught me that if I was going to do something, I should take my time and do it right.
Acknowledgments
To ...

... Kevin J. Anderson. If not for his advice, I would never have ended up with ...
... Matt Bialer, the best of agents. If not for his guidance, I would never have sold the book to ...
... Betsy Wolheim, beloved editor and president of DAW. If not for her, you would not be holding this book. A similar book, perhaps, but this book would not exist.
And, lastly, to Mr. Bohage, my high school history teacher. In 1989 I told him I’d mention him in my first novel. I keep my promises.
