There are good Dutch childrens' authors, yes, the three you named are excellent, and I could add others to that list, like Paul van Loon and Jan Terlouw. But when they write for adults, they lose all imagination and sparkle and write boring pretentious books that I can't see the point of.

Do note that those were Pat's words. I haven't read them myself yet*. He also notes that the series really finds its voice in the second trilogy (The Legends of Camber of Culdi). The first trilogy looks like fun to me, though perhaps little cliche. But we'll see, right? Annoyingly, some of the books appear to be out of print and hard to find.

* And it might take a while for me to get there, as I still have two books I got for Christmas that I intend to read first.
