Full circle has another pleasure for me, a hope
that you will write more of its kind. I had
heard that the war had drawn you away from
such literature.

This is not belittling my enjoyment of
Greenmantle and its sequel. They are far
and away the best of their kind. My son, aged
ten, reads and rereads them. I had read
him several of the pre-Malory versions of the King
Arthur story about the time he first had Green-
mantle. He said, "Please get me another
book like King Arthur and Greenmantle,
something with spirit and sting to it."
We have read some parts of your history of
the war together and mean to do more
in the summer vacation.

Please accept my sincere gratitude for the
abiding pleasure you have given me
and my family in these delightful stories.
We shall watch eagerly for the ones to come.

Yours very truly,

Mary Bowen Brainerd
