Re Alan Garner, the owl service hmm, I didn't like them when I read them as a 
child, too scary for me. Wonder what they would be like now...

Re DYJ - I've read Witch Week and f & H. She has a style (so far LOL) which 
leaves out lots of information. I'm very unhappy there is no squeal to F and H. 
I read it having no idea what was coming but finding it quite compelling. But 
now I understand a bit more what they are up against want to know how Polly and 
Tom get on <sigh>

Re Lemony Snikkitt (sp?) Has anyone read this series, Starts with 'A bad 
beginning" Looks hysterical but I am waiting for it to come back into the 
library ....

Storm said, re the album title "Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A
Peasant":

I think it comes from a children's book in which > the child is also always 
being admonished not to 'swing her ankles" by her> governess.

FFA said: I gathered that too, on a general level.  I had some vague idea it 
was a
direct quote, possibly from "Anne of Green Gables" or something American
[looks towards the Kindred Spirits on the list].

Hmm, I rather thought French or European ....
