The Script for Sarah Plain and tall was written/adapted from the book in all of 2 days and we were off and rolling.
Unfortunately, it would take us a few months to start recording because we were railroaded by the nastiest cold that I have ever experienced. Translated to 6-8 weeks of congestion and cough. I was so fed up waiting, that we finally started recording and often had to suck on cough drops between takes.
