I suspect a lot of kids don't even know they exist - a bit like milk that actually comes from the udder. I think it’s terrific that you teach with primary sources.

I loved Susan Cooper's, especially since a) I think her writing is brilliant, and b) I'm a copyeditor. Obviously she needs no help from me!
