Is there some correlation between older people and older books, Lily? I must say I enjoy getting newly issued books by authors I enjoy.

The Daily Telegraph says older people have adopted Kindle with enthusiasm www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/9810712/Over-55s-most-likely-to-own-e-readers.html. I hope this means we'll get more out-of-print and older books available soon.

Mary Stewart. Agree. And Mary Renault. And Jane Aiken Hodge. And Zoe Oldenbourg - The World is not enough- about the Cathars. Bit like Kate Mosse grin

blush I have been getting my "Marys" muddled up. It should have been Mary Stuart (Crystal Cave books).

The Mary Renault books I read recently were about Alexander the Great. (very good too)

That one looks good jeni. Dare I download another book to kindle? #mustreadmore

I will be honest. I got so all consumed with the Crystal Cave stories, I daren't read them again! They pervaded my life! Can you understand that? hmm smile

I still reread the Crystal Cave series and Mary Renault. I know what you mean though some favourites don't work when you read them again.

I don't believe anyone can really enjoy the older, more original, versions of the legend.

Love the Kevin Crossley-Holland books. And Bernard Cornwell. And Persia Woolley.

Loved the Crystal Cave, Mary Renault, books but couldn't read them again now. They were a good introduction.

I could not get on with that one. Really don't like it.

I've just reread The Once and Future King and I still love it, apart from the last book which is ... depressing!

Prefer McGonagall! Scotland's finest poet!

Yes but Sir Lancelot rode off at a great wallop. Don't think any writer can beat Malory still makes me smile

Don't like Mallory. They spend all their time having 'ado' which seems to mean either fighting or sex.
