cheated as wellit's not that it's obscure given that i read through pretty much all of dianna wynne jones when i was young (power of three was my favourite. though fire and hemlock still stands up well, not least because it's basically a re-imagining of two old scots fairy tales) but the image is pretty obtuse...
still, a very big woo for referencing dianna wynne jones :) also, buy her tough guide to fantasyland if it's still in print again, it's very good indeed.

They reissued loads of her books recentlylike over the last four or five years. If I were you I'd buy the best of them -- they actually are worth reading as an adult, even if they don't take all that long...
