I discovered her as an adult and still haven’t got through anywhere near all of it. You’re right that she wrote a big range of stuff. <br /><br />Susan Cooper hasn’t written anywhere near as much, but she is still writing and after reading her Dark Is Rising series I was pleasantly surprised to find that the books she wrote after were still wonderful, though that is her greatest work. I don’t think she will ever write as much as Andre Norton, though. <br /><br />As a teacher librarian I think I would have loved to welcome the young you to my library. You seem a bit like one of my students, Thando - not your background, she was an African refugee who had no idea where her father was, suspected he was dead. But read! The minute she arrived at my school, she signed up for the library and in the end, I just let her borrow as many books as she wanted, which might be as many as twenty. And she read them all, about one book every two days, and borrowed some more. I got her to do a guest review on my blog and interview Juliet Marillier. Amazing kid!
