They may be a little bit too young at this stage but once I've read The Black Banner, I will decide...and share if I can! Amazing interview, too, and... well, I never, I'd forgotten all about Angelique! My parents had the whole series and I remember reading them all. Wow! Great minds...?!?

I'm so glad you enjoyed the book.<br /><br />(Linn... I think Angelique is a forgotten gem. I read and reread the books regularly, and I'm so pleased to have met another fan!!)<br /><br />Thanks for all the lovely comments.Helen at SilverWood Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318099465720374249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057010418701934571.post-43147020546440796972012-01-20T11:36:40.087+00:002012-01-20T11:36:40.087+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Helen at SilverWood Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318099465720374249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057010418701934571.post-80341358750692524792012-01-20T11:19:25.702+00:002012-01-20T11:19:25.702+00:00What a fascinating interview and it's rekindle...What a fascinating interview and it's rekindled my love of pirate fiction. When I was - ahem - younger I used to read everything connected with pirates, although I can't remember many of the authors now. Films as well. I'm old enough to remember Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. This book has definitely gone on my TBR list as a must.Chris Longmuirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02488093821886798927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057010418701934571.post-58311244174695440242012-01-20T10:29:38.058+00:002012-01-20T10:29:38.058+00:00Fabulous to get to know Helen a little better, a v...Fabulous to get to know Helen a little better, a very interesting lady. I also love Daphne DuMaurier and find her work inspiring. I think writing for the YA market is becoming more popular and I'd definitely want to meet a character that has adventures.

I've never met anyone who has read them too.
