I must confess I've never heard of quite a lot of the already-mentioned ones.
I can hardly wait for CELEBRATING ANTONIA FOREST, which is the proceedings of a conference about AF that I didn't get to attend. Also it includes bits of RUN AWAY HOME that got cut from the book. Including, so I hear, a kiss between Patrick and Nicola. Which will thrill me to no end because a)AF apparently destroyed the work she had done on her last book some time before she died, so this is the only new writing I'm going to get to see, and b)Patrick and Nicola!
Also coming soon (or is it out yet? I was thinking June, but I could be wrong) is the sequel to Jeanne Birdsall's THE PENDERWICKS, which I enjoyed very much.
Things for which there will be no sequels, alas!: Antonia Forest's Marlow books mentioned above. And a sequel to THE REB AND THE REDCOATS and one to ENEMY BROTHERS, both by Constance Savery. And a sequel to RILLA OF INGLESIDE, by L. M. Montgomery. And THE WONDERFUL YEAR, by Nancy Barnes. And a sequel to AND LOVE THEE EVERMORE and THE LIVING SWORD by Lennox Allan (though I am sure Killiecrankie through her book would break my heart all over again). And another of the Baker Street Irregulars books by Robert Newman.
I want them. I want them *NOW*. And I don't understand why authors think that they can get away with feeble excuses like, "But I'm dead!" Bah! I sneer at their excuses!
