Lead Review

• Book: The Weirdstone of Brisingamen
• Location: Alderley
• Author: Alan Garner

Alan Garner was young and learning his craft, and he set the books in the modern world and in real places that can be visited, which gives a hell of a buzz to the reader. All you need to do is to go where he tells you, sit down, wait, and let the atmosphere and the stories get to you. I’ve been scared stiff many a time. He really does know the power of the places he writes about. The Guardian
