Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but did anyone else read the (admittedly sub-AR) "Bannermere" series involving a lake, written by Geoffrey Trease back in the 50's? Were you as disappointed as I was that they weren't substitute S&A books (once I'd read the entire canon)? I do recall my significant 12-yr old interest in the possibility of a 'girl-friend' obliquely referred to in these books (what was her name?). Still, 50 years on, my bookshelf still groans with AR-related volumes (and none on Mr. Trease) - so maybe I just matured a bit?
(PS I've been away from TarBoard, and indeed the internet, for many weeks recently, and it takes ages to catch up!)
