I have published a number of works of fantasy, now sadly out of print.
- White Cranes Castle, Macmillan 1979
- 'Geraldine Harris wears her obvious learning lightly and subtly provides
the necessary glosses without interfering with the pace of this far distant
yet gripping adventure' Junior Bookshelf
- Seven Citadels, Macmillan 1983 / Unwin 1985 and translated
into six languages
- Prince of the Godborn
- Children of the Wind
- The Dead Kingdom
- The Seventh Gate
- 'Seven Citadels is beyond question a major achievement ... it cannot be
said too often that this is not a children's book, however many children may
be numbered among those who come under its spell. It is a book for readers
who are proved worth of it.' Junior Bookshelf
- The stories are all long and complex ... but the four main characters --
and the interplay between them -- are fascinating, and the imagery in the
writing is beautiful and inventive.' The Horn
Book
- This is intricate in structure and crowded with characters -- but Harris
has compensated for this by writing with pace and momentum, providing action
and variey, and -- above all -- creating characters with depth and
distinction.' Chicago Bulletin
for the Center for Children's Book
- Harris's characters are among the most believable in fantasy literature'
