Remember that children's picture book with the sea-ghosts I was mentioning a few weeks ago? I found it. It's Birdy and the Ghosties (1989); I recognized the cover illustration immediately. What I didn't remember was its author, Jill Paton Walsh. Who is also responsible for The Green Book (1981), which
rushthatspeaks and I both read in elementary school, possibly under its reissue title of Shine, and A Parcel of Patterns (1984), which traumatized us a few years later. Who knew? At this point, I'm just waiting to see what else turns up out of her bibliography—oh, wait, Fireweed's (1970) hers, too. Yes, I have been recommended Knowledge of Angels (1994). What I can't figure out is how she seems to have wound up best known for her Sayers fic.
