Joan Aiken

[mrissa]

I know some of you read Joan Aiken. If I was to read something of hers that was not a Wolves book, not about a pet raven, and not a Jane Austen homage/continuation, what would I start with? (To be clear, I have liked the Wolves books and had no particular objection to Arabella or her raven. But then I'm left with this sort of largeish mass of things, and I don't know how highly variable she gets.)

I am probably not much help, as the only work of hers I've read is Midnight is a Place, which is really rather dark and disturbing in some regards. I read it every few years or so.
