The Old Kingdom Trilogy by Garth Nix

I have a map of the Old Kingdom on my bedroom wall!

I loved Sabriel, but Abhorsen and Lirael left me feeling kind of dissatisfied.

I now want a map of the Old Kingdom on my bedroom wall! Penned in iron-gall ink! Except that the paper would slowly disintegrate!

I used to have Garth Nix's signature, too. Unfortunately, I did not know its worth, and cast it from me. Ah, regret! You bittersweet drink!

A serch of metaquotes for my username yields...

26 results. One of which is me quoting someone else (a phenomenon that has occured twice).
