rereading william mayne: the lights and darks of children's literature

As if I haven't got enough on my plate, I've begun a series of posts on the disgraced children's author William Mayne, whose books my mother and I loved when I was a teenager. The eventual plan is to reread them all -- so don't expect a hurried pace of posting or anything, he wrote more than 100, and I only own about 20.
