A Fantastic Legacy: Day One

The holiday catch-up posts begin just before we went away, with the Diana Wynne Jones conference I had attended immediately before leaving England (and when I say 'immediately', I mean that we had deliberately scheduled our departure for the day after the conference). Two days, two locations, and enough interesting material that I could happily have spent the entire afternoon in Cambridge - no, another two whole days - talking through it all with nineweaving and rushthatspeaks. But we have LJ, we can open the conversation wider than that.

*After two days listening to - and talking to - people who had known Diana Wynne Jones personally, some of them very well, we were all falling into the habit of talking about 'Diana'. Outwith that context, I feel impertinent continuing that usage (however well I may have felt I knew her as a reader). Hence this compromise.
