Older (pre-TD, I guess) KaTe

["Horace 'The Eye' Buntley" <cerebus@ebhon.jnst.uor.edu>]

I, for one, love and adore KaTe's older stuff.  I first got into her 
KaTeness via that Great Work, _The Ninth Wave_.  The reason that we end 
up talking more about such more recent works is probably that they seem 
to have more of the Fantastical, and can be more fun to try to analyze.  
But early KaTe is, while definately a different mood, just as wonderful.  
I've heard long-time fans talk of the pre-Dreaming days, when _Never For 
Ever_ stood out that much more as a masterpiece.  Get all the KaTE you 
can, of course, but don't (necesserially) pass that particular one up in 
favour of a newer one first.
