"When I want to win a Newberry medal (I'd settle for an Honor), I will write about Welsh mythology. Seriously, those voters LOVE Welsh myths. My problem with this one is that it suffered in comparison to Lloyd Alexander and Susan Cooper (and even Tolkian)."
"This book has such a fabulous sense of place, you could totally find your way around Borth, Wales, after reading it. In fact, you probably *will* want to find your way around it!"
"I didn't think I'd like this book, but I really did and made me interested in learing more about life in Wales. I recommend this. It won a Newberry in the 50s."
