I love this story from Book Expo America about Paul Auster, who discovered that his 1999 novel, Timbuktu, had also been turned into a children’s book by his publisher - yet his publisher had never told him about it.
There’s two possible takes on this 1) Publishers can’t be trusted further than you can throw them 2) Publishers can very, very stupid.
The children’s version has a friendly fluffy dog while the adult version has a rather more threatening canine.
