another book

I just thought of another book which I've read a kazillion times.  
It's called "The Children's Country" by Kay Burdekin, a very early 
(1920s?) children's sci-fi/fantasy author.  It's a wonderful book -- 
about these 2 kids who visit "fairy land" where no one ages and 
children and adults are 2 different species who live in 2 different 
countries.  This book has been out of print since probably before I 
was born, so I'd be surprised if anyone here (even Heidi) has even 
heard of it, but if you stumble across it in a used bookstore, snatch 
it up.

Of course, I have weird taste.  I seem to be the only one around here 
who doesn't really like LOTR all that much (which means I've only 
read it maybe twice), thought the Narnia books were ok but will 
probably never read any of them more than once, didn't like Ender's 
Game at all, and thought Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy 
was ok but not great.  I hope that's not enough to get me thrown out 
of the HPverse.
