5 Books by Alan Garner
Requirements: ePUB Reader | 16.7B | Version: Retail
Overview: Alan Garner was born in Cheshire on the 17th October 1934, and his childhood was spent in Alderley Edge, where his family has lived for more than four hundred years. His attendance at the local primary school was interrupted by several serious illnesses, from three of which he nearly died. At the age of eleven he went to Manchester Grammar School and became the fastest schoolboy sprinter in Britain. Before going to Oxford, he spent two years’ National Service as a lieutenant in the Royal Artillery. Realising then that his original ambition to become Professor of Greek was no longer valid, he decided to become a writer. He found his present mediaeval home, dug himself in, and wrote.
He has won many awards, including the Carnegie Medal, the Guardian Award, the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award, the Phoenix Award of America and the Karl Edward Wagner Special Award from the British Fantasy Society. In 2001, Alan was awarded the OBE for services to literature, and in 2007 he was elected Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in recognition for his achievements in advancing the archaeological understanding of Cheshire.
—He was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2022 for his novel Treacle Walker.
Genre: YA Fiction | Science Fiction/Fantasy
Strandloper
I sing the eagle.
"Bone of the Cloud. The Clashing Rock.
The Hard Darkness."
It hangs above the grave mound.
I sing, dreaming...
William Buckley was transported to Australia in 1801. He escaped and lived as an Aborigine for thirty-one years. In this visionary novel, Alan Garner is true to William the Cheshire bricklayer and William the Aboriginal spiritual leader, as William is true to his fate. The result is extraordinary.
The Owl Service (Introduction by Philip Pulman) (2023 Edition)
From the author of the Booker Prize-shortlisted Treacle Walker The much-loved classic, finally in ebook. Winner of both the Guardian Award and the Carnegie Medal, this is an all-time classic, combining mystery, adventure, history and a complex set of human relationships. It all begins with the scratching in the ceiling. From the moment Alison discovers the dinner service in the attic, with its curious pattern of floral owls, a chain of events is set in progress that is to effect everybody's lives. Relentlessly, Alison, her step-brother Roger and Welsh boy Gwyn are drawn into the replay of a tragic Welsh legend – a modern drama played out against a background of ancient jealousies. As the tension mounts, it becomes apparent that only by accepting and facing the situation can it be resolved.
Red Shift (2023 Edition)
From the author of the Booker Prize-shortlisted Treacle Walker and the Carnegie Medal and Guardian Children's Fiction Prize-winning classic, The Owl Service The much-loved classic, finally in ebook. A disturbing exploration of the inevitability of life. Under Orion's stars, bluesilver visions torment Tom, Macey and Thomas as they struggle with age-old forces. Distanced from each other in time, and isolated from those they live among, they are yet inextricably bound together by the sacred power of the moon's axe and each seek their own refuge at Mow Cop. Can those they love so intensely keep them clinging to reality? Or is the future evermore destined to reflect the past?
Lad of the Gad
From the author of the Booker Prize-shortlisted Treacle Walker and the Carnegie Medal and Guardian Children's Fiction Prize-winning classic, The Owl Service The much-loved classic, finally in ebook. In 'The Lad of the Gad' Alan Garner has reworked five stories from the Gaelic layers of British folktale. Folk and fairy tales have not always been relegated to children, and older readers will appreciate Garner's ability to give these stories a new vitality for our time.
Elidor (Essential Modern Classics)(2023 Edition)
From the author of the Booker Prize-shortlisted Treacle Walker and the Carnegie Medal and Guardian Children's Fiction Prize-winning classic, The Owl Service Roland, Helen, Nicholas and David, four Manchester children, are led into Elidor, a twilight world almost destroyed by fear and darkness. On a gloomy day in Manchester, Roland, Helen, Nicholas and David are lured into a ruined church, where the fabric of time and place is weak enough to allow them into the twilight world of Elidor. It is a place almost destroyed by fear and darkness, and the children are charged with guarding its Treasures while a way is sought to save the dying land. Then the evil forces find a path through to this world... This new edition of Alan Garner's classic includes a special "Why You'll Love This Book" introduction from bestselling author, Jonathan Stroud.
