A review by lyndiane
The Weirdstone of Brisingamen by Alan Garner
5.0
I accidentally discovered this author on Goodreads recently, and was fortunate to track down several copies of this novels.
This novel, and the sequel, are lyrical masterpieces, written in the style of ancient legends, with a flavour of "Lord of the Rings" and the Narnia series. Although written for children, the stories are timeless in their appeal and I found myself unable to stop turning the pages, and completed both stories in less than 24 hours.
I honestly believe that these two books would make excellent setwork material for school reading.
