Just got interested in Susan Cooper (b.1935), YA fantasy author from 1960s forward. Found this fascinating archived interview of her by R.H. Thompson, 1989, about her inspirations web.archive.org/web/20060425... #OverSeaUnderStone #DarkRising #SusanCooper #Arthurianlegend #grail #merlin #cornwall
#OverSeaUnderStone by #SusanCooper is a 1965 childrens mystery that would be categorized as middle grade today. The book has some charm within the children's sense of wonder but has dated stereotypical dialogue and structure.
⚠️Fair warning a hard left from a villian in black face towards the end 📚💙

#OverSeaUnderStone
Ik ontdekte #SusanCooper vorig jaar en las toen #TheDarkIsRising rond de Kerstdagen. Ik lees nu 't 1e deel van de serie, #OverSeaUnderStone.
Bloedspannend, moet 't na elk hoofdstuk even wegleggen, moed verzamelen om verder te lezen.
't Is een jeugdboek hè, dus (soort van) goede afloop gegarandeerd
