Yes--EVERYTHING is exactly right. (I sewed myself an egregious dressing gown for the Chrestomanci costume. There are pictures somewhere back on LJ, I think.) So many of her books are fantastic! I've always wanted to meet her--from her books and what I've heard of her, she seems like a fabulous person--and since that now looks even more unlikely than it ever did, well, I figured I had better write her.

Congratulations on writing to her! Telling people about it is, in my mind, optional.
