This was a wonderful book. Wish I'd known about it when I was young. It's a pity Bellairs mostly turned away from fantasy after this and wrote mysteries. Not that his mysteries aren't good, but I'd have liked to see more high fantasy from him.The House With a Clock in its Walls
Speaking of his mysteries . . . this is the first of the Lewis Barnavelt books. I realised about halfway through that I actually *had* read it before when I was young, but it was so long ago I'd pretty much forgotten it. Good mystery, though, and I love Uncle Jonathan. I'm still working my way through the series.
