"I can sit and talk happily to people about books and authors without realizing that I am myself the author of nine books... As a matter of fact, it still startles me to see my name on books, or to realize that it means anything to anyone. Yet, judging by the letters I receive from readers, it does."

I like this quote very much as it confirms the sort of person I think I hope she is. (Does that make any sense?) Thanks for posting it.
Thanks for sharing this quote! This illustrates to me the sort of modest type of person I imagine Mary Stewart to be.
She seems like such a lovely person. Thanks for finding that quote - it made me smile.
