I think I'm the only person I know who's read Wilanne Schneider Belden (though I've handed her to a few people), besides Laura Miller, who bonded with me at Readercon about it.

I don't believe I've read any of her novels, but she wrote the short story "A Puma and a Panther," which is not a great piece of literature, but provided a central sort of story-touchstone for my mother and my god-aunt Susan around Halloween. What are her books like?

And it took me ten years to obtain a copy of Barbara Brooks Wallace's The Interesting Thing That Happened At Perfect Acres, Inc., but I still like it.

If that's the one where the villain's nefarious plot is all about altering children's literature, then I have to borrow it from you and re-read it. Otherwise, mostly I remember the author for things like Peppermints in the Parlor.
