In reply to a question... The Dark is Rising series was written by Susan Cooper. They include (in order) Over Sea, Under Stone The Dark is Rising Greenwitch The Grey King Silver on the Tree I found these books to be very enjoyable, though I think I would have liked them much more if I had read them when I was younger. They are "aimed" at the 12 to 17 year old crowd, so some of the plot developement seemed pretty predicatable to this ancient 23 year old. These books used to be "impossible" to find (write to the publisher...) but they were recently reprinted in paperback! Susan Cooper also wrote "Dawn of Fear", which is a few months in the life of a young English boy during the WWII bombings. If anybody knows of any other Susan Cooper books, I'd appreciate knowing the titles. Alice Bentley ...rochester!ritcv!tropix!aii
