Description
A rural landscape situated on the outskirts of industrial Manchester is brought to life in four interconnected fables. Here, the boundaries between work and magic are blurred, and the land is alive with the rhythms of nature. Smiths, chandlers, steeplejacks, quarrymen, labourers and artisans live and work in harmony with the seasons and the elements.
These fables beautifully recapture a way of living that has now disappeared, one that was deeply connected to the land and the natural world. Alan Garner's prose is simple, searching, and evocative, conjuring a world that is both familiar and forgotten.
