message: : continuing six-year old sections #Whatahuh? and #First marriage
The paragraph covering {emigration, first marriage, full-time writer} desperately needs expansion. Presumably it should say that she married Grant and they started a family. Ideally it should relate raising children (how many?) to becoming a full-time writer. For example if there were twins born 1964, she may become a "full-time" writer when they entered school, or "full-day" school. (Compare Anne McCaffrey.) --P64 (talk) 18:08, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks to someone above for the reference Professor Grant obituary, MIT 2004. (But spouse= dates are marriage spans, not lifespans. See .) --P64 (talk) 13:58, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

message: "Susan Cooper: libraries are the frontline in the war for the imagination". In a speech given to the Youth Libraries Group, The Dark Is Rising author recalls the events that fired her creative instincts as a child, and the importance of books and libraries in building a rich inner life for children

There is some great information here, including some early biographical. It is primary source, apparently a transcript of the speech. --P64 (talk) 23:53, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: She says that her "little island in an estuary saltmarsh" was once named Cooper's for the cooper who acquired it in 1640. Evidently that is in northern Marshfield, ceded by Scituate in 1788. Basis for inference: 1648: Cooper's Island a marsh island in Scituate; Scituate history; Marshfield at Google Maps.  --P64 (talk) 17:47, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

message: This is Susan Cooper. The names of my parents are wrong in this piece. My mother was not Ethel Maybelle but Ethel May, and my father not Bob Richard but John Richard.
And I don't live in Cambridge; I live on a saltmarsh island in Marshfield, Mass.
My most recent books are The Shortest Day, with Carson Ellis, and The Word Pirates, with Steven Kellogg, both 2019.
I should be grateful if these changes could be made.  Thanks.
