The first is a book I wrote in Devon, a children's book called The Valley of Song, a mixed up, confused book liked by a few children (and how I adored those children) but otherwise a quickly vanishing failure. I wrote it very much under the shadow of death but so much seemed to come through to me from the shadow that I loved the book.

Where did you find that? I am glad she loved it; it deserves to be loved. I wouldn't call it mixed-up, either. It blends its mythologies perfectly.

(What were her other two?)
