"Had it been around at the time, Books for Keeps would probably have reviewed Alan Garner’s The Weirdstone of Brisingamen (1960) and The Moon of Gomrath (1963) in its books for 10-14 year-olds section. The dust jacket of Garner’s new novel Boneland (August, 2012) describes it as ‘a novel for adults, concluding a trilogy that was begun for children’. Is there another trilogy written over 50+ years? Geoff Fox re-reads, reads, and reads again."
