Come to think of it, I do slightly remember either you or Anne pointing out that The Wolves of Willoughby Chase took place in an alternate history of England. I too would not have noticed that on my own, though once someone pointed it out to me I realized it was true. If it wasn't you, it must have been Anne who was the source of that info.
I did not know Joan Aiken had written other things than that one series. Neat!
I always meant to read that series out loud to my older two kids. Their dad and I did a lot of reading out loud for a *long* part of their childhood, long after they could easily read hard books on their own. But I never got around to that series. Both kids actively rejected "The Dark Is Rising" long before we got to the good parts, so I don't know if they would have done okay with Joan Aiken, either. Sigh....
