[livejournal.com profile] historicalyafen is starting (what should be) an ongoing children's/YA historical lit comment fest

I thought I'd post it here, because it's something I watch, but it's a small comm, so just to let you know if you'd like to play, or if you know of anyone else it will interest, you can pass it on & help there be more rare fandom ficlets in the world. (They've got a fairly wide definition of historical ya/child. lit on the comm; as long as it's comes on a ya/child. lit list somewhere and is set in this world's past, or an au of this world's past, anything goes.)

I might see if I can think of any Joan Aiken prompts to leave or something. Tomorrow or later, though, as earlier today I used up my concentration and hurt my head by accidentally thinking too much. *head!desk*

Awww. It is awful to have to be careful about thinking too much. :-( *sends gentle hugs*

Thanks for the link. It sounds like it might include Chalet School stuff. ::looks hopeful::

And ouch...I hope you're feeling okay soon. :o(

Yeah, I went and actually read what it said *after* I enthused on your LJ! Duh. It still sounds interesting though.

Talking of Frances Hodgson Burnett, have you read her The Lost Prince? It's my favourite one of hers.

If you're interested, it's available for free download on Project Gutenberg. Actually, I think all her books are available on there. If you're not interested, feel free to ignore me. :oD

Link.

I find quite a few of hers are overly religious, and she seems to have a thing about making kids orphans. I don't think I've read anything of hers where she doesn't have the mother, the father, or *both* die either before the book starts or before you get well into the story. Apart from that, I do enjoy quite a few of her books.
