Browsing the Kidlitosphere, I happened upon a wonderful link by Read Roger/HornBook-December 2007. Susan Cooper spoke at Cambridge Forum on the role of literary fantasy in the lives of children. WGBH has links for audio, video, and podcast formats. I was intrigued and listened immediately. She gave a lecture and answered questions from the audience. I have read her Dark Is Rising series twice. Her books are high on my list of favorites. I was enchanted to find that not only is she the best of writers, but she is also an eloquent speaker. The event was both powerful and magical. I wish I could have been there.
