I've just started reading the "Dark is Rising" series by Susan
Cooper. This is another set of "children's" literature that adults can
really enjoy. It has a King Arthur/Merlin type background, but set in
modern times. Merlin is in there, disguised.

It also has your standard set of heroes... two boys and one girl. Why
do almost all the children's fantasy/quest stories have this 2-to-1
thing? Anyhow, it's a fantastic read.

The titles, in order, are:
1. Over Sea, Under Stone
2. The Dark is Rising
3. Greenwitch
4. The Grey King
5. Silver on the Tree
