Elidor (Essential Modern Classics) | 
Stopped at a used bookshop this morning to pick up Titus Andronicus for the #shakespearereadalong. But couldn't resist also buying these 1981 editions of Alan Garner's middle grade fantasies. After reading The Owl Service, I'm game to read more of his work.
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Those are glorious! I love those 80‘s covers. 4y
merelybookish @Riveted_Reader_Melissa They are absolutely delightful! 4y
Bookwomble Great covers, great stories ❤ I live about an hour's drive from Alderly Edge , where Brisingamen and Gomrath are set, but I've not visited yet, despite wanting to for 40 years - I'll have to make it happen soon! 4y

merelybookish @LeahBergen No promises for when that review is coming. 🙂 4y
merelybookish @batsy Thanks! Garner is not very big in the US so I was excited. 4y
merelybookish @CarolynM Sometimes there's a lag between me buying a book and me reading it. 😁 4y
merelybookish @JazzFeathers I understand! I don't remember some books I read a few months ago. 4y
