Ellenpoly - I have just re-read the Wrinkle in Time series, & own the 3 Nix books. What are they using to get Abhorsen to the UK - clippers would be faster. I bought it when it was published, March 2003!! There was a thread on Susan Cooper's Dark is Rising series a year or so back - lots of great authors were mentioned there.

Fibula - have you read the entire Wizard of Earthsea series - there are now 6 books in the series. (1. A Wizard of Earthsea, 2. The Tombs of Atuan, 3. The Farthest Shore, 4. Telanu, 5. Tales from Earthsea, 6. The Other Wind) The last 3 came out this century, about 25 years after the first 3! I found the whole lot in the library recently & I want to buy them.

Have you folks read Tamora Pierce's books. I bought 2 series, Circle of Magic & The Circle Opens & might buy the Lioness series. I have just given away some unwanted books & now have 3/4 of a empty shelf.

have fun
