Described by Philip Pullman as 'the most important British writer
of fantasy since Tolkein', Alan Garner has been enrapturing readers
with works like The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, The Owl Service, Red
Shift and The Stone Book Quartet for more than half a century. Now,
a group of the writers and artists he has inspired over the years
have come together to celebrate his life and work in First Light.

Stephen Fry, Neil Gaiman, Elizabeth Garner, Paul Kingsnorth,
Katherine Langrish, Helen Macdonald, Robert Macfarlane, Gregory
Maguire, Neel Mukherjee, Philip Pullman, Ali Smith, Elizabeth Wein,
Michael Wood and many, many more. Whether a literary essay, a
personal response to Garner's writing or a story about the man
himself, each piece is a tribute to his remarkable impact. Edited
by the acclaimed journalist and novelist Erica Wagner, First Light
will touch the heart of anyone who grew up reading Alan Garner.
