The Dark Is Rising (Boxed Set): Over Sea, Under Stone; The Dark Is Rising; Greenwitch; The Grey King; Silver on the Tree | Susan Cooper
9 posts | 23 read | 14 to read
Susan Cooper's brilliant Dark is Rising sequence has enthralled readers since the first book, Over Sea, Under Stone, was published more than forty years ago. The second book, The Dark is Rising, was named a Newberry Honor Book and is now a major motion picture. The fourth, The Grey King, won the Newbery Medal. This handsome boxed set includes all five books in the celebrated sequence.

This seems like a very interesting book. The fight between light and dark. Will the world be taken over by evil?

This is a book about Will Stanton who discovers a gift. He is the last of the old ones, the immortals who fight to keep the powers of evil from taking over the world. This is the second book in the series.

Finished on Christmas morning (ok, “morning”) and this counts for 5 toward my yearly total right? Loved this series, absolute classics.

Just now finished Silver on the Tree and I'm already planning when I can fit in a reread of this series. Yeah, I'm weird like that.

Highly recommended!

Jovy I have never heard of this series. Sounds interesting! 7y

Brilliant, dark mythical series. These vintage Puffin covers fit the tone of the books. I have the newer versions, the boring sanitised ones.

TrishB A great series 👍🏻 7y

batsy @Cathythoughts @mcipher @Cinfhen They're great, aren't they. Older Puffin covers are just 👌 7y

Just remembering leisurely vacation lunches with a book and a beer (and my friend Emile the octopus, of course!) I'm finishing up my re-read of this series this week and it's been such a blast going back to them, and so comforting. ❤️
