Description

Four stories which span several generations of craftsmen, telling Alan Garner's personal and family history as fiction. While simply told, each book is a marvellous skein of language, telling of the labourers and artisans, the cycle of the seasons, and the continuity inherent in all these. A child is central to each story - Mary sees eternal truths written in stone, William gets a new sledge crafted from wood and iron, Joseph becomes a blacksmith and Robert's name is carved in a steeple" 224p.
