frith_in_thornsAlan Garner has written a new book! Boneland, which is the sequel/completion to the trilogy of The Weirdstone of Brisingamen and The Moon of Gomrath.
...50 years after the first one was published. XD
Anyway, I pre-ordered it within five minutes of finding out about this. The Moon of Gomrath in particular has been one of my favourite books for as long as I can remember. It has the Wild Hunt! And the Riders! And the Morrigan! (And I am still hideously freaked out by the crawling-through-the-caves section of Brisingamen.)
If the sleeper wakes, the dream dies…
Professor Colin Whisterfield spends his days at Jodrell Bank, using the radio telescope to look for his lost sister in the Pleiades.
At the same time, and in another time, the Watcher cuts the rock and dances, to keep the sky above the earth and the stars flying.
Colin can’t remember; and he remembers too much. Before the age of twelve years and nine months is a blank. After that he recalls everything: where he was, what he was doing, in every minute of every hour of every day.
But Colin will have to remember what happened when he was twelve, if he wants to find his sister. And the Watcher will have to find the Woman. Otherwise the skies will fall, and there will be only winter, wanderers and moon…
SO EXCITED.
