All of Ibboton's books make me homesick for Vienna, never mind I've never been there. It seems like a fairyland in itself in her stories.
I've tended to prefer Ibbotson's adult books, although admittedly I haven't read too many of her children's stories; I loved The Secret of Platform 13 but at the same time found it a little too goofy.
But perhaps I should read the others, you know, in the spirit of inquiry. Clearly I cannot make definitive statements on Ibbotson until I have read every book in her oeuvre!
