Once I learned about Dare Wright (the author), I realized why they were so haunting and wonderful to me. I do think all that early reading makes a huge impact.Michelle's Spellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769666862403600253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465814199245472416.post-49857427925215668922008-11-19T01:07:00.000-05:002008-11-19T01:07:00.000-05:00Lilithas--You're surely right.

She was in love with the garden, after all.<BR/><BR/>I actually saw the movies of both before I read the books.
