British Literature Down Memory Lane!!!

I read "What Once Was True by Jean Grainger, and loved it so much that I ordered and am now reading "Return to Robinswood" and am loving it so much that I've just ordered "Trials and Tribulations" as book 3 of what I hope will be a neverending series by Jean Grainger!!! I spent time in my youth in the UK during the Queen's Coronation, including wonderful years in a British Boarding School in Wokingham. Jean is bringing back such wonderful fond memories! I wish I had her e-mail address so I could write and tell her so!
