 Susan Fenimore Cooper -- Child of Genius
A real likeness of Miss Cooper, as she appeared in her ripest years, would recall a sweet face framed in dangling curls, a manner somewhat prim, but always gentle and placid, a figure slight and spare, with a bonnet and Paisley shawl that are all but essential to the resemblance.
Cooper was lionized to a considerable degree, the family was intimate with such important personages as Lafayette and the Princess Galitzin.
Or perhaps the clue to Susan Cooper's failure to face the obligations of her talent is to be found farther back, in her childhood and early youth.

 SF REVIEWS.NET: The Dark Is Rising / Susan Cooper
Cooper doesn't cut corners when fleshing out Will's family life, and Will's bevy of brothers and sisters, plus his doting parents, give Will a warm, human context in which to frame his superhuman tasks.
The roaring winds of winter storms are so vividly depicted by Cooper you can almost hear them and feel the cold in your bones, and a sense of genuinely eerie foreboding permeates the narrative, without which the story wouldn't have worked half as well.
But Cooper isn't merely blessing us with terrific art direction by setting the story in the winter; no, everything pays homage to the myths from which she draws inspiration.

Cooper directly acknowledges her debt to the Mabinogion, and to the writings of Robert Graves and Walter de la Mare.
As if this were not enough, Cooper catches at our hearts by tying into her epic the most beloved strand of all, the legend of King Arthur.
But although her protagonists are all children with the exception of Merriman, the tasks they undertake and the wonders and horrors they face have the ageless quality that is the hallmark of all great stories.
