I'm going to be posting authors previously requested for a while. Let me know if there are anyone in particular you would like to see. Old time readers will notice that this is a slightly different format. The reformatting was done for the Encyclopedia Galactica I'm working on. Mostly it brings the lists into standard format (years in parenthesis, only short fiction is in quotes, and the like). The only Lloyd Alexander I've read is the Prydain Chronicles. Like many of the best young adult SF, I read these when I was in my 20's. I had a lot of catching up to do. And I'm still a sucker for a well written juvenile. And the Black Cauldron is a fun series. Great characters, and wonderful drama. Personally, although the animated movie was fun, it's not nearly as good as the books. As usual. I've heard good things about his other books, but I haven't read them myself. [C] == Story Collection. [O] == Omnibus. Includes other books. [SFBC] == Science Fiction Book Club edition [YA] == The book is for young adults (however you define them).
