Prue is the protagonist in Wildwood, an urban-threshold fantasy set along the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. It is a great pleasure, then, to meet Prue. ![]() And Lyra Belacqua of The Golden Compass trilogy (His Dark Materials) is my absolute favourite young woman in literature. I prefer Lucy to any of the Pevensies in Narnia, Arha is far stronger than Ged in the Earthsea Cycle, and Violet is my favourite Baudelaire. While Charles Wallace in A Wrinkle in Time is the forlorn mystic-the genius-it is Meg’s frustrated determination that grabs me. In Harry Potter, it is Hermione who most has my sympathy. Both of my children’s books and a fantasy book I am working on, The Curse of Téarian, feature young women as the driving forces of personality in the narrative. I am always struck most by the female protagonist. ![]()
