The Stone Book Quartet Paperback / softback
by Alan Garner
Part of the Harper Perennial Modern Classics series
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
