Diana Wynne Jones reads from Enchanted Glass

[steepholm]

In my Marie-Kondo-fuelled rage for tidying I came across some material from the Diana Wynne Jones 2009 conference that fjm, chilperic, lady_schrapnell and I organised at UWE, Bristol. This included a copy of the message Diana recorded for the conference, since (because of illness) she was unable to attend personally - something I know she regretted. In it she reads the beginning of the (then still unpublished) novel, Enchanted Glass.

I thought that this might be of interest to some people here, especially those of us who miss her.

Oh, wow. This is lovely, and is making me super sad about missing everyone.

I know! Especially as it starts with her saying that she's sorry she can't be with us, which almost sounds as if it were spoken from beyond the grave.
