Lost novel
In 1986, Gemmell wrote
The Lost Crown as a children's novel with his daughter, who was just seven at the time. His publishers liked the idea and commissioned the work. However, not knowing when it would be printed they gave it a fake ISBN and a 1999 publication date. At the time, this date was often used for any book not yet written, but that had been commissioned. This was fine way back in 1986, but when 1999 actually arrived, a great number of novels started to "appear" in bibliographies and publication schedules on the Internet, although they may not have been published or even written.
After Gemmell finished
The Lost Crown, he sent the manuscript to his publishers. Unfortunately, they didn't like it, saying that they didn't think it had a "voice" for children. So it was shelved. When Gemmell asked for the manuscript back the following year, so that he could work on it, he was told it had been lost. As if that wasn't enough, it had been saved only on an old Amstrad PCW disk that had become corrupted.
