Funny how names - ones you know, ones long held in the memory - can suddenly come up and bring a writer or a book to the forefront of your attention. So it is with Alan Garner: first Geranium Cat's post on his novel Thursbitch
, then DamsonLily saying that that book had completely obsessed her book group a while ago. I've never read Alan Garner, though The Owl Service
has 'hovered' as a might-read, and The Weirdstone of Brisingamen
has been in print for fifty years. All these books tempt me; have you read them?
