        I am always bemused by the “author you’ve likely never heard of” continuum which seems to have two points: “complete unknown with one forgotten book fifty years out of print” to “J. K. Rowling or Stephen King” Aiken is still very widely read, particularly by writers.

        I see memes like that a lot too, and I'm like alright, whoever made this meme has clearly not stepped foot into a bookstore in a long time (or talked to kids b/c really? shel silverstein?)

        Pleased to report that her books are most certainly still read in the UK (not just in England).

        Er, I've not only read her books, but was lucky enough to listen to the talk she gave at our school, and meet her when she signed books afterwards. Oh, and my dog is named after one of her characters. There's plenty of Aiken love in the UK.

        You mean "Americans have likely never read". Joan Aiken was and still is read far and wide in Australia. Don't be so parochial.

        This word "never". I do not think it means what you think it means.

        Isn't The Wolves of Willoughby Chase still considered a classic? My English class read it in sixth grade. Her book The Kingdom and the Cave was one of my very favorites in elementary school, and now my daughter loves it.

        Arabel's Raven made me as a child, then my two sons, laugh like drains. The raven, Mortimer, despite only ever saying 'Nevermore!' was like something from Dickens.

        Maybe it's just that I'm old, or British (possibly both) but I just assumed that everybody read Joan Aiken books when they were children.

        As a Canadian born in the 50s and raised in the States, I admit that there were many British authored and published books that I would buy, read, and love, in Canada while visiting family in the summers, then have to wait until the next visit, as they weren't available here
