The book titled "Walt Disney" has already been published in 18 countries and 16 languages. Over 450,000 copies have been sold worldwide, showing the world's fascination with this legendary storyteller. 　　 "All the books that were written about him before mine were compiled with the help of the studio and his family, so there is always one (fixed) view of him," Eliot said in a recent interview. "I took a different view. I did not get any help from anybody. I think it is good to have a balance of viewpoints."

"Accuracy is most important when writing a good biography," Eliot said, "Research, there is no substitute for research. You have to get out and do the research. Find the information and make sure of your accuracy. When you write the biography, you need to have the stories right." 　　"I interviewed a lot of people who haven't been interviewed before by Walt Disney biographers. They had a great amount of information that hasn't been told before. I travelled around the world to find people who worked with him. 　　"There is a skill to gathering available information.
