Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:A classic work of rural magic realism from one of Britain’s greatest children’s novelists
Four interconnected fables of a way of living in rural England that is now disappeared.
Craftsmen pass on, or withhold, secrets of their relationship with the natural world, which gives them the material from which they create useful and beautiful things. Smiths and chandlers, steeplejacks and quarrymen, all live and work hand in hand with the seasons, the elements and the land. There is a mutual respect and a knowledge of the magical here that somehow, somewhere was lost to us. These fables beautifully recapture and restore it to us.
And a very particular landscape, on the outskirts of industrial Manchester, is brought vividly to life.

Alan Garner is widely held to be the most distinctive and memorable writer of children’s literature that Britain has produced since the Second World War. With the publication in 1996 of 'Strandloper', he gained a wider audience for his work among adults, an audience who will find pleasures and rewards aplenty in this modern classic, republished here for the first time in Flamingo.
