another much-beloved fantasy series of my youth that I've had difficulty locating as an adult called the Crossroads series.
Nick O'Donohoe! The Magic and the Healing (1994), Under the Healing Sign (1995), The Healing of Crossroads (1996). I cannot tell for the life of me whether those would hold up if I re-read them, although the central conceit of a veterinary practice for mythological creatures is still gold. I remember liking the first two very much and the third not at all. I always wanted more about Morgan. She was such a weird quasi-Arthurian touch. (Doesn't she hail from a country that would have been the Waste Land if she hadn't murdered the Fisher King, or something?) To the best of my knowledge, the trilogy is dead out of print. If it turns out that my parents still own the copies I read in high school, I'll lend them to you. I can't promise anything, though—there have been several devastating book-losses since then.
