Where the page and the screen part
Lord AshfordÔÇÖs role in the showÔÇÖs first season follows the novella closely as the tournamentÔÇÖs nominal host, though the production has not given the character the kind of prominent billing reserved for the princes and knights whose conflict overtakes his event ÔÇö consistent with the source materialÔÇÖs own treatment of him as more setting than protagonist.
Their journey
Where the two tellings send them to the same place the road runs whole; where they part, the screen keeps the left and the books the right.
