My childhood beckons. Oh it takes me back. I was introduced to Alan Garner by a teacher. Unfortunately it was The Moon of Gomrath that I read first in class and only read The Weirdstone of Brisingamen after. Thank you for this.
You're welcome. Needless to say, I have several Alan Garner radio plays on the channel, including two versions of 'Weirdstone' and a lovely adaptation of The Owl Service. There's a whole playlist of adaptations of Children's Novels if that's of any use to you...
I've been a huge fan of Alan Garner for 50 years. The Owl Service has continued to yeild insights into the meaning of the Blodduedd story as the decades pass.
I will be posting an adaptation of The Owl Service in the relatively near future - but also, near to Christmas, a reading of The Giant Under the Snow, which isn't Alan Garner but was acclaimed by many as being very much in the same style...
Garner is truly a superb writer and I love his work.
