Extreme danger brings out the best in people and it also gives us a glimpse of the feelings that have been gradually developing from book to book. And then, just like the journey into the mine, those feelings are driven underground until the eruption of emotions in "Not Scarlet but Gold". This ability to show his characters growing up is what sets him apart from other authors who are writing for both boys and girls. The children's personalities stay marvellously the same and yet somehow become intriguingly different.
And now for the list of the other virtues - the haunting description of landscape, the harrowing and totally compelling plot involving a threat to everybody's favourite dog, the comedy of the Morton twins, the tremendous capacity for describing journeys, the gift of lively dialogue..... I must stop.
I would recommend any parent to start their children on this series. They may begin by enjoying the plots but they will return to see what happens to the characters whose lives they have joined. Just like Mary, worried to death about her Scottie dog, they will still be alert enough to recognise the special secret that she has overheard and hints to us all on the last page of "The Neglected Mountain".
