Well, one last batch before I go on vacation. John Bellairs' work can be divided into two catagories: "The Face in the Frost" and his juvenile fantasy/mysteries. "The Face in the Frost" is a wonderful fantasy, at turns funny, witty and scarey. Really recommended. His juveniles are an interesting mixture of magic and mysteries. I own most of them, but have only read novels in the "Johnny Dixon" series. Quite fun. The illustrations by Edward Gorey (a marvelous illustrator, he did the opening sequence of PBS's Mystery series) help add to the atmosphere.
