  • Diana Wynne Jones Saying That Her Novels ‘Provide a Space Where Children Can
    University of Wollongong Research Online Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts 2009 "Mum’s a silly fusspot”: the queering of family in Diana Wynne Ika Willis University of Bristol, [email protected] Publication Details I. Willis (2009). "Mum’s a silly fusspot”: the queering of family in Diana Wynne. University of the West of England, Bristol, 4 July. Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] "Mum’s a silly fusspot”: the queering of family in Diana Wynne Abstract In Four British Fantasists, Butler cites Diana Wynne Jones saying that her novels ‘provide a space where children can... walk round their problems and think “Mum’s a silly fusspot and I don’t need to be quite so enslaved by her notions”‘ (267). That is, as I will argue in this paper, Jones’ work aims to provide readers with the emotional, narrative and intellectual resources to achieve a critical distance from their families of origin. I will provide a brief survey of the treatment of family in Jones’ children’s books, with particular reference to Charmed Life, The Lives of Christopher Chant, The grO e Downstairs, Cart and Cwidder, Drowned Ammet, The omeH ward Bounders and Hexwood, and then narrow my focus to two of Jones’ classic 4 treatments of family: Eight Days of Luke and Archer’s Goon. I will read these books in terms of the ways in which their child protagonists reposition themselves in relation to family in the course of their narratives.

  • The Grey King
    THE GREY KING Susan Cooper Winner of the Newbery Medal Will has been sent away to convalesce after a serious illness, from which he's recovered with a feeling that he's forgotten something terribly important Now as he begins to piece together the words of some old verses he once knew, he also remembers that he is the last of the Old Ones of the Light, and that he has come to Wales to find the golden harp which will wake the Six Sleepers from their long rest, so that they may ride forth in Battle against the rising Dark. Using the words of the poem as clues, and helped by the strange white-haired boy, Bran, and his dog who can see the wind, Will embarks on his quest. But the malevolent Gary King is the most dangerous power of the Dark he has yet encountered, and there are moments when it seems his task may never be accomplished This story is the last but one of Susan Cooper's 'The Dark is Rising' sequence. It won numerous international awards, including the Newbery Medal for I975, and is as enthralling as its predecessors Will, the hero, straddles the line between ordinary life and high adventure in a way that makes the strangest event completely credible. The other books are: Over Sea, Under Stone, The Dark is Rising, Greenwitch and Silver on the Tree. Susan Cooper was born in Buckinghamshire, read English at Oxford and began her career as a reporter and feature- writer for The Sunday Times. She then married an American and moved to the United States.

  • Books for Preconventional Readers PRECONVENTIONAL READERS and BOOK CHARACTERISTICS PRECONVENTIONAL BOOK LIST
    Books for Preconventional Readers Children at the Preconventional stage take their first steps as readers with wordless books. Tana Hoban has written over two dozen wordless books, such as Look! Look! Look! (1992), that spark conversations and focus preconventional readers on details in the illustrations. These appealing texts encourage students to use their oral language to tell stories. Some children can also read simple “label books” with one or two words on a page that match the illustration or photograph. For instance, Growing Colors by Bruce McMillan (1988) includes pictures of objects from nature. The matching label is a color word (e.g., “yellow” for a sunflower). By matching pictures to a word, children begin to focus on print and mimic the reading behaviors of siblings and adults. PRECONVENTIONAL READERS AND BOOK CHARACTERISTICS Student Behaviors Book Characteristics • Begins to choose reading materials (e.g., books, • Illustrations provide strong support. magazines, and charts) and has favorites. • Some texts are wordless. • Shows interest in reading signs, labels, and logos • Some texts have 1–2 words per page.

  • Diana Wynne Jones Conference Schedule
    Diana Wynne Jones Conference Schedule Friday 3rd July 2.00-3.15pm, Room 3D36 Registration and Refreshments 3.15-4.30pm, Room 3D33 Charlie Butler: Welcome to the Conference! Charlie Butler is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of the West of England, Bristol. Charlie is the author of six fantasy novels for children and young adults, as well as the academic study Four British Fantasists: Place and Culture in the Children’s Fantasies of Penelope Lively, Alan Garner, Diana Wynne Jones and Susan Cooper (2006), and numerous articles and chapters on children’s literature. Deborah Kaplan: Disrupted expectations: young/old protagonists in Diana Wynne novels. The works of Diana Wynne Jones consistently break genre expectations regarding the age of the protagonists and a secondary characters. Some texts, such as Dark Lord of Derkholm with its cross-generational heroes, violate the genre’s expected relationship between the age of the implied reader and that the protagonists. In other other texts, including Hexwood, the protagonist’s true age is hidden from everyone, including the protagonist himself. These two texts aren’t unusual in a body of work which includes timeshifting flashbacks, adults regressed to toddlers, and a century-old adolescent. This paper explores the function of age and expectation in Jones’ works, primarily focused on this pair of texts. It examines how a text with an adult or age-shifting protagonist implies a child reader in a genre with fairly solid conventions for protagonist age. It examines the texts’ building of sympathy for mixed- generational groups, instead of presenting adults as antagonists, mentors, or parental figures.
