I am halfway through Falconer's Lure

and I now know why Rowan left school and what Nicola said to her on the train.

I know what happened to Cousin Jon.

I am about to find out what happened to Lawrie and Ellen Terry.

I have waited a long time for this moment and I am enjoying every minute.

Thank you CoupleOfKooks

The GGB re-prints still turn up on ebay quite a bit.

Although my biggest finds pre-GGB were 'The Marlows & the Traitor' (charity shop, 40p, I hyperventilated quite a bit) & 'The Players & The Rebels' (languishing in Durham University library - I borrowed it, 'lost' it, & paid a £5 lost book fee. I know, I know, it was very wrong of me, but no-one else had taken it out in 5 years...).

I love Falconer's Lure. Although not sure which one is my overall favourite - depends on my mood at the time.

They have all been republished by Girls Gone By Publishing and I was able to get them as they came out for which I feel very grateful Maybe they could be persuaded to do another print run?

Hello, mind if I join in? I am an AF nut, have all the school ones and a very battered copy of Peter's Room, but haven't read FL for years, am very

No I was stunned by it.

But I understood it all

I'm sensing somehow that's a fairly appalled 'My God'...

It tickled me enormously - I like a nice bit of irreverent intertextuality!

Yes, finding out about Unity Logan was great. Also why Nicola was so diffident about riding horses.

I will also find out was happened to Regina.

I am being hampered in my obsessive reading by the fact that I have got lots of workmen fitting a kitchen and it is chaos here. They are still here! The book is safely tucked away upstairs so no harm comes to it.

There is nobody in RL I can share this with who would get it AT ALL.

Have you finished yet?

I love the fact that it fills in so many gaps. The whole Unity Logan question, Rowan leaving school (I was so shocked when she wasn't going back in End of Term), the introduction of Patrick and where The Sprog came from.

Oh I so envy you reading it for the first time!

They SHOULD reprint them all, I find it so odd that such splendid work is out of print.

Ooh yes, where did you get it? I am having no luck tracking most of them down...

I love Falconer's Lure - it answered so many questions for me.

I think Puffin only published the school stories, didn't they?

Lucifera · 27/05/2010 13:18

Where did you get your copy? (was it from CoupleOfKooks, is that why you thanked her?)
Why don't Penguin/Puffin reissue all AF's books? Should I start a petition?
