There were many audience questions but I had to miss a lot out or the post would have been War-And-Peace-like.<br /><br />Emma - it was my pleasure! My legs go all wibbly when I think of those lectures (and all the talent they inspired, in spite of being mumbly).

I wonder if she every met Diana Wynne Jones, another superb fantasy writer, who also went to Tolkien's lectures (and also said they were pretty much inaudible)? Imagine them all in the same room together...<br /><br />I'm going to Susan Cooper's Brighton appearance - really looking forward to it!Emma Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02718171070716804800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-1212647643346897422013-10-25T10:45:12.686+01:002013-10-25T10:45:12.686+01:00Tamsyn, thank you so much for sharing your meeting...Tamsyn, thank you so much for sharing your meeting with Susan Cooper on Awfully Big Blog Adventure and for your picture. <br /><br />I love to hear real life tales of writing heroes - and that includes the heroines like Susan. There are some lucky people going to that fantasy gathering. <br /><br />(Well done, Jo, for the questions.)Penny Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386668303428008498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-71705977425528106212013-10-25T10:41:26.001+01:002013-10-25T10:41:26.001+01:00I thanked her for writing The Dark Is Rising and t...I thanked her for writing The Dark Is Rising and told her she'd inspired me to become a writer.
