"I read Lord of the Rings and Hobbit at that age, and enjoyed them immensely."

I read Hobbit to her for story two (maybe three) years ago. LOTR is on our list.

"Pretty much anything by Arthur C Clarke;"
I recommended some of his short stories to her, but she didn't take the bait.

"Mary Stewart's Arthur series - Crystal Cave"

Of course! These are brilliant! These go on the list for sure!
