I think that she was experimenting with story telling in the first books, seeing what worked well for her and what didn't.
Although I rather liked Mr Satterthwaite, I hope that the supernatural element won't be repeated in future books.
Next, the third from my recent purchase of a bundle of Frederick Pohl books:
The Way the Future Was, first published in 1978.
