Schmidt, Gary D.
Children's Literature in Education, v18 n1 p34-44 1987
Examines the integrated series novels of Madeleine L'Engle, Susan Cooper, and John Bellairs. Argues that the characters in these works change and develop and that the position of each novel as a part of a longer history emphasizes the cyclical nature of myth, story, and experience. (SRT)
