Christopher Paolini

Welcome to Listening Books', 'Ask the Author' with Christopher Paolini

Christopher Paolini is one of the biggest living fantasy authors, having shot to fame with ‘Eragon’ and ‘The Inheritance Cycle’. Following on from the fantastic interview we did with him back in 2015, we wanted to ask members and followers of Listening Books what they would ask Christopher if they could ask him anything. We got so many questions! And we put the best to him. Hear Christopher talk about his characters, and answer previously unasked questions, as well as talking about his new book and what he is working on next! (See full questions below)
