A review by lordenglishssbm
The Weirdstone of Brisingamen by Alan Garner

3.0

A passable children's book redeemed-to an extent-by Alan Garner's lush prose. He would later disown the book, and while I think his assessment of it being a "bad" book is understandable, I think it's overall an okay effort that maintains its tone while making no egregious missteps. I can certainly see why Neil Gaiman, who made a literary career out of everymen descending into surreal fantasy worlds, extols its virtues.
