ppint. 8th Nov 2017		Rated 10/10 stand-alone° sequel to the weirdstone of brisingamen (1963) (detailed in submitted "correction" for notes), q.v, and just as good as that superb novel, which also is complete in itself. ° there are a couple of direct references back to the earlier novel, and i recommend reading it before this one, if only for reasons of temporal continuity. both are very powerful modern-day set fantasies, with historical and fantastic references brought alive - all too alive ? - by alan garner; and although originally published by wm. collins sons (and p/b-ed in puffins) as for immediate pre-teen and teen-age children, they will reward any adult's reading, so long as their minds be not too closed-off by their having "grown up".
