She has no children of her own, but has a claim to at least four nieces and four nephews. ==Books== ===Lyra=== These books share a common setting on a world named Lyra, and are listed here in chronological order rather than by publication.

== Cecilia and Kate stories == First of all, I changed the title to include both protagonists. Only seems fair. Second, I removed "or The Enchanted Chocolat Pot" from ''Sorcery and Cecelia''. It was hard to format, and if we're going into full titles it should be, first ''Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot: Being the Correspondence of Two Young Ladies of Quality Regarding Various Magical Scandals in London and the Country'', then ''The Grand Tour : Being a Revelation of Matters of High Confidentiality and Greatest Importance, Including Extracts from the Intimate Diary of a Noblewoman and the Sworn Testimony of a Lady of Quality'', and that's just too much. (I made the titles bold because otherwise it was hard to weed out the text from the titles.) I'll concede that the Chocolate Pot part is debatable, which is why I'm adding this note. Personally, I think it looks neater without it, and it's never listed that way in other books. There's a book club edition of both Mairelon books call ''Magic and Malice'', so it seemed reasonable to call the set that. -User:Salli 22:46, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
