My memory was jogged by the last post mentioning Susan Cooper's _The dark
is rising_ and I thought of Lloyd Alexander's _Black Caldron_ series.
Both of these have a strong celtic flavor and can be a bit dark, but are
not frightening. For slightly lighter stuff, I liked the Burrow books and
_The Phantom tollbooth_.
