I still read it! Every time there is a terrible stormy winter's night and I am propositioned by a sinister beggar. Then I check in the morning to see if I have acquired any mystickal powers, eg mastery over earth, sea and sky. Or discovered a Grail.
That is another great series, and you do have to wonder why anyone is bothering to read H**** P***** or those earnest, anodyne Narnia books when there is any number of terrific stories about magickal children.
I personally steer clear of armoured bears these days, just in case. Also, I always knew dust was intellergent, as it seems to be able to get into my flat while I'm not around, and settle on my bookshelves and nice shoes.
I was already an adult when someone pointed me to The Dark Is Rising, but even as an adult it totally enthralled me.
I'm glad you posted this - you've just prompted me to add her to my list of books to look for in secondhand stores. (It's an a4 page, folded many times, that I keep in my wallet)
