== Background == Rosa created "Guardians of the Lost Library" at the request of [[Scandinavia]]-based, European Disney publisher [[Egmont Publishing|Egmont]] in reference to the fact that [[Norway]] had officially declared 1993 to be "The Year of The Book" in order to promote reading<ref name=US383 /> (as the story was published in Norway and [[Denmark]] in 1993, one year prior to its first edition in the original English).<ref>{{Inducks comic|D+92380}}</ref> Rosa figured that he would honor the written word best by sending the Ducks on an epic quest for the [[Library of Alexandria]], where he: :''"could show the evolution of books from [[papyrus]] scrolls through [[parchment]] tomes and the first [[Johannes Gutenberg|Gutenberg]] volumes on up to the present day. ''[...]'' In the process, it was easy to show how books have recorded and even inspired the advancements of science and art through the ages ''[...]''. And what could be better than for the key to tracing the Library around the world be that most famous mythical book of all - the [[Junior Woodchuck Guidebook]]?!"''<ref name=US383 />
