Interview with
Susan Cooper by Raymond H. Thompson - an interview which mainly concentrates on the
Arthurian aspects of Cooper's novels, she does mention that the Second World
War was also a big influence. She says that she could see Windsor Castle
from her bedroom as a kid as I did. Could Dawn of Fear possibly be set in
the Chalvey/Datchet region?
