There were 4 pillars that supported me through my childhood (and still do to be quite honest) and they were, in no particular order The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, the Narnia books, Alan Garner's books and Susan Cooper. So what if they took liberties( as I found out later) they managed to transport me somewhere where I longed to go. Especially the Dark is Rising book because it was near where I lived in the Chilterns. Sigh...oh for callow youth and the joys of new discovery.
ps:Allison...NOI about the "so what" :o)
