I haven't read them in years. Maybe we should re-read them this summer and talk about them. *wink* You've got to listen to Christopher Lee's version.

Tom Jones put his own touch on the song, and it's pretty good.Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-32551536809551025772020-05-18T16:35:42.718-05:002020-05-18T16:35:42.718-05:00Kaye, I loved Susan Cooper's series.

I had a little red record player and the Vaughn Monroe version and I wore that thing slick. How well I remember my mom, standing in the kitchen fixing dinner, calling out, "Cheryl...let's play something else for a while..." LOL I loved your story based on this song, too, Kaye. Really did enjoy it!

Love the song, and the story you wrote. One of my favorite is the 1949 version by Burl Ives, but then I've always been a fan of his work.
