Prolific authoress Joan Aiken died January 4th at her home in England. The first of more than 100 books, The Wolves of Willoughby Chase was published in 1963. Her last book,The Witch of Clatteringshaws, will be published by Delacorte Press in January 2005.

For a list of her books for both adults and children, check out: Joan Aiken Bibliography. A very good biography may be found at The University of Southern Mississippi (which, if you don't know, is probably THE place to study children's literature in the US).
