I doubt it, to be honest. But it's all set in the same world, so will probably be quite enjoyable anyway. My father has most of them, I think, and says they are very good - and he knows a bad potboiler when he sees one. On the other hand, this is my father and as we all know he is slightly terrifying so you may wish to disregard this opinion.

in fairness to the Narnia books I read that he did plan to revise them all but died before he could.

I also would like to put in a word for Pauline Barne's terrif illustrations for the books.

Charles DeLint isn't particularly misogynistic, although he may be guilty of being heteronormative. Can't recall.

Liked the books, though.

Alan Garner. Yes he's still alive.
The Weirdstone of Brisngamen is a classic, but he's just writeen Snadloper (no I've never heard of it, Great publicty machine there guys!) Which he admist is his first Adult noverl, maybe thats why it took him 12 years to write it.
Alan Garner is someone that I eojoyed as a child and now again as a adult because his mooks work of difffrent levels. Isn't that what all good books should do?
If you have kids/Are searching for more fantays then I'll throurhy reccomenr AG.
