Elidor (Essential Modern Classics)

Elidor (Essential Modern Classics) | Alan Garner

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. 5y

merelybookish @Riveted_Reader_Melissa They are absolutely delightful! 5y

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! 5y

batsy Oh wow! Nice find 😍 5y

CarolynM I remember loving The Owl Service as a child but I never read any of his others. I look forward to seeing your review. 5y

JazzFeathers Love those covers 😍 Though l have to say, l read Elidor ages ago... and l don't remember anything of it 😱😶 5y

merelybookish @LeahBergen No promises for when that review is coming. 🙂 5y

merelybookish @batsy Thanks! Garner is not very big in the US so I was excited. 5y

merelybookish @CarolynM Sometimes there's a lag between me buying a book and me reading it. 😁 5y

merelybookish @JazzFeathers I understand! I don't remember some books I read a few months ago. 5y

I‘ve never been quite sure if Alan Garner is as popular outside the UK as he is inside it. One of those authors who writes grown-up books for children - or should that be children‘s books for grown-ups? Anyway, Elidor started the ball rolling for me. I was ten. The book haunts me still.

Mistermandolin @Kimberlone Thanks! I‘m enjoying it! I‘m an author as well as an avid reader so feeling right at home here! 5y

Kimberlone @Mistermandolin it‘s a wonderful community! 5y

Mistermandolin @Kimberlone That‘s absolutely the impression I‘m getting. Friendly, intelligent conversation about shared sets of literary interests: doesn‘t get much better than that! 5y

Mistermandolin @Kimberlone I‘m really enjoying Litsy! Do you know of any other, similar, dedicated readers‘ sites? 5y
