Susan Cooper said that this book took two years to write, unlike most of her other book, which took about a year. She also said when finishing this book, she had "a combination of a sense of loss and a sense of relief. Finishing 'Silver on the Tree', I felt a great sense of loss, because there were all these people that I was never going to see again."
