Stands the test of time

I first read Fitzempress' Law (FL) after reading one of Diana Norman's later books, Daughter of Lir. Although FL was apparently written for the young adult market, it's a very sophisticated and absorbing treatment of 12th century England and the evolution of civil law under Henry II. I've reread FL several times now, and it only gets better. FL is the beginning of Diana Norman's fascination with Henry II. He reappears as a realistic character in Daughter of Lir and of course in the recent Ariana Franklin mysteries. Another of her books that deals with 12th century England (and the Fenlands) is the The Morning Gift - a good read as well. I think that the time travel aspect is handled well. In particular, the insertion of lawless and rather childish 20th century teenagers into a 12th century world where they seen and treated as adult is very believable. Note to publishers: please look into reissuing Fitzempress' Law and the earlier Diana Norman books. The popularity of her more recent titles (under her own name & nom de plume) should be a good indicator of how well re-issues would do!
