Book

Boneland (2012)

A reaction, not a review. I think I did the right thing. I just spent a few weeks re-reading The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, The Moon of Gomrath, Elidor, Red Shift, The Owl Service and Thursbitch, because I felt that I needed to take a run up to Boneland. If you're expecting Boneland to be what it...

Book

The Owl Service (2006)

an impressionistic tale of three teens reenacting a deadly eternal triangle in a welsh village. strange yearnings and mysterious motivations are anchored by enjoyably prosaic dialogue, the oddly off-kilter use of slang, and a sharp but subtle sense of warfare between the classes. a nicely clean a...

Four children find a way to travel to another world, and enter on a quest for treasures to save this world. Later, the other world, (Elidor), bleeds into ours, putt...

The Lad Of The Gad (1980)

If you have read any of Garner's other collections of folk-tales you will know more or less what to expect here. There are only five stories in this short book they range from 10 to 35 pages in length, they are all originally Gaelic stories. Garner in his introduction explains that with these s...
