The Weirdstone of Brisingamen
Alan Garner
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 Weirdstone of Brisingamen is one of the greatest fantasy novels of all time. When Colin and Susan are pursued by eerie creatures across Alderley Edge, they are saved by the Wizard. He takes them into the caves of Fundindelve, where he watches over the enchanted sleep of one hundred and forty knights. But the heart of the magic that binds them – Firefrost, also known as the Weirdstone of Brisingamen – has been lost. The Wizard has been searching for the stone for more than 100 years, but the forces of evil are closing in, determined to possess and destroy its special power. Colin and Susan realise at last that they are the key to the Weirdstone’s return. But how can two children defeat the Morrigan and her deadly brood?Reviews

This was a bit weird at the beginning but I was soon into the story - an entertaining fantasy with quirky characters.

I remember this from my younger days & loved it. Given it for Christmas. I liked Gowther. I liked the idea of a lost gem/stone going back to where it belonged. Yes.

I didn’t really enjoy this book. I found it too wordy and descriptive.

Children’s Fantasy. I liked Cadellin the Wizard the best. It’s about 2 children Colin and Susan and a Wizard that look for the Weirdstone of Brisingamen. They face lots of dangers on their search for the stone. I would recommend this book.

This is recommenced for it's plot which is confusing yet understandable but since it is difficult to follow it looses a final five star
