About the Author
ALAN GARNER was born in Congleton in Cheshire in October 1934. He was brought up on Alderley and lives with his wife and family, between Congleton and Alderley. Alan Garner's writing was Highly Recommended for the only international children's book award, The Hans Christian Andersen Medal, in 1978. He was also awarded the twelfth annual Children's Literature Association International Phoenix Award for his novel The Stone Book and by extension, of course, for the entire Stone Book Quartet. In 2001, Alan was awarded an OBE for his services to Children's Literature, despite admitting that he doesn't write for children - they just understand his books best.
Review
'From Harry Potter to The Hunger Games, adults have been enthusiastically been reading children's books over recent years. Garner predates the cross over phenomenon by decades, but he has never been just a children's writer: he's far richer, odder and deeper than that' Guardian 'He deploys short, accurate words better than anyone else writing in English today, and he makes it look simple. Boneland is the strangest, but also the strongest of Garner's books. It feels like a capstone to a career that has taken him, as a writer, to remarkable places, and returned him to the same place he started, to the landscape of Alderley Edge and to the sleepers under the hill' The Times 'Boneland hooks into the mind, haunting, provoking...This novel functions like a dream, containing hints at insights that, once we wake, we yearn to grasp again' Telegraph 'There is much left unexplained. However, this is a novel for all the children who loved 'The Weirdstone Of Brisingamen' but who have now grown up.' Four out of Five stars. Sarah Kingsford, Express

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The crowning achievement of an astonishing career, Boneland concludes the story that began over fifty years ago in The Weirdstone of Brisingamen. If the sleeper wakes, the dream dies Professor Colin Whisterfield spends his days at Jodrell Bank, using the radio telescope to look for his lost sister in the Pleiades. At the same time, and in another time, the Watcher cuts the rock and dances, to keep the sky above the earth and the stars flying. Colin cant remember; and he remembers too much. Before the age of twelve years and nine months is a blank. After that he recalls everything: where he was, what he was doing, in every minute of every hour of every day. But Colin will have to remember what happened when he was twelve, if he wants to find his sister. And the Watcher will have to find the Woman. Otherwise the skies will fall, and there will be only winter, wanderers and moon. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004291586
