I am very sad, but I knew she was quite elderly, and it wasn't unexpected; I think I still always hoped I would meet her in person someday.<BR/><BR/>Carolyn and Caba, it's never too late! Of her books, my favorites are <I>A House Like a Lotus</I> for its dreaminess, <I>Many Waters</I> for its exoticness, and <I>And Both Were Young</I>, because I identified so much with the main character. And, of course <I>A Wrinkle in Time</I> is incredible.<BR/><BR/>Her books, I think, are equally enjoyable for adults, because she doesn't dumb her writing down for children.<BR/><BR/>Her journals -- there are four of them in publication -- are also amazing - thoughtful, caring, introspective.paintandinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00799336378465281025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263618364128006035.post-29065278975628425922007-09-10T16:04:00.000-07:002007-09-10T16:04:00.000-07:00Sadly, i don't know this author, though i know LM ...Sadly, i don't know this author, though i know LM Montgomery. Just like Carolyn, I did not read as I a child...I thought it was so-o boring.At high school, I hated being told what to read. As soon as I left high school to go to teachers college,I have never been without about 3 books on the go at any one time!!CaBaCuRlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08451681218562430878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263618364128006035.post-35879583249603857342007-09-09T16:34:00.000-07:002007-09-09T16:34:00.000-07:00Now Anne of Green Gables I know the others sadly n...Now Anne of Green Gables I know the others sadly not, unfortunately my reading was severly limited as a child. No I wasn't deprived I just refused to read anyhing other than pony books, fact or fiction I didn't care. I remember my teacher trying to trick me with a school prize one year, there was a horse on the cover of the book but the heroine grew out of horses in the first chapter. Needless to say it was never finished. I've tried to catch up a little by reading tons of stuff to my own kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263618364128006035.post-91902337279420141522007-09-09T00:36:00.000-07:002007-09-09T00:36:00.000-07:00I am with you.
