VOICE THAT THUNDERS

For over four hundred years, the Garners have lived and worked in the same small corner of Cheshire. This narrow but deep experience has charged the novels of Alan Garner - including The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, The Owl Service, The Stone Book Quartet, and Strandloper - with extraordinary power and authenticity. In this selection of lectures and essays, taken from the work of twenty years, the author reveals his wide-ranging interests and obsessions: archaeology, myth, language, education, philosophy, the spiritual quest, mental health and children’s literature.
