90 years old (Born on May 23, 1935)
Happy Birthday, Susan Mary Cooper! You've masterfully woven Arthurian legends into everyday life—and thank goodness—we've all been waiting for Merlin to finally tackle modern traffic jams. Your timeless storytelling has brilliantly blurred fantasy and reality; now every old oak tree feels oddly magical—though we're still wary of black birds staring suspiciously from fence posts.With "The Dark is Rising," you captured our imagination and enchanted readers across generations. May your birthday be brighter than the Old Ones' hopes during Winter Solstice, filled with joy as enduring as your stories that keep sparking adventure in England, Wales…and wherever mythical forces secretly roam among us today!
