Lewis dealt with issues of good and evil in his seven stories about the fictional country of Narnia (The Chronicles of Narnia, 1950-56), PL Travers's five-part Mary Poppins series (1934-82) created a humorous new witch, and M.

Pearce's Tom in the Midnight Garden (1958), LM Boston's Green Knowe series (1954-76), R. Hoban's The Adventures of the Mouse and His Son (1967), A. Garner's works based on Welsh legends (1960-), and W. Mayne's The Vanishing Drummer (1966). In 1972, R.
