[MR] Book List

[Marsaili Johnston]

>I've recently read the Margaret of Ashbury trilogy by Judith Merkle Riley
and enjoyed all three. (_A Vision of Light_, _In Pursuit of the Green Lion_
and _The Water Devil_.) They take place in the 14th century.<

I forgot about those -- also good! Margaret is such an unusual character, but believable and entertaining.
