Review: The Luminous Fairies and Mothra

 I had no clue that there had been a novela that predated the release of the Japanese film, Mothra. Contracted by Toho studios it was the work of three authors, each of whom wrote a section.

The first part of this book contains the story, while the second part discusses the history of the writing of the book, changes made in the film and how each was influenced. Absolutely fascinating.

I grew up watching this film and the other Kaiju movies coming from Toho Studios and other filmmakers. It's interesting to see how budgets and politics made changes to the film while it was still in production.
