A classic work of rural magic realism from one of Britain's
greatest children's novelists. Through four interconnected fables
of a way of living in rural England that has now disappeared, Alan
Garner vividly brings to life a landscape situated on the outskirts
of industrial Manchester. Smiths and chandlers, steeplejacks and
quarrymen, labourers and artisans all live and work hand in hand
with the seasons, the elements, and the land. There is a mutual
respect and a knowledge of the magical here that has somehow,
somewhere been lost to us. These fables beautifully recapture and
restore that lost world in simple, searching prose.
