    I remember his books The Winds of War, and War and Remembrance, great novels which I read non-stop. They also were made into a successful mini-TV-series. I still keep them in my bookcase.
    They are huge tomes, too. I think they're both over 1100 pages.

    Judith Kerr, British author.

    I read "Als Hitler das rosa Kaninchen stahl" when still in school. A very moving book.

    Janet Jeppson - in February, but I've only come across the news recently in Dave Langford's Ansible - wife and collaborator of Isaac Asimov, and a strong-willed woman in her own right.

    Oh, no.

    I hadn't heard this, either.
