Eva Ibbotson Continued

There are many places, especially those mentioned in The Beasts of Clawstone Castle, that you will soon be seeing with your own eyes. And we do have a field trip scheduled to see the "Wild White Cattle" which will be a treat. Joyce's comment to the first post about Eva being a person who does not suffer fools lightly is right on. If you click on the name of this posting, you will be taken to a website featuring a 40 minute podcast of an Eva Ibbotson interview. There is also some written narrative that gives a flavor of her personality. Eva is a great storyteller, and I think that J.K. Rowling is in her debt! I am just finishing up Which Witch and I have to force myself to put it down because I need to get my grading done.
