so interesting. i've been a fan of diana wynne jones' writing for years, first finding her as a kid, and then reading and re-reading her as an adult; so to find a book of critical anylsis of her work was a dream. a lot of the info, as to references and such, was stuff i'd picked up on through the years, but other thoughts were insighful and new to me.
