Some edge wear and slight fraying to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners rubbed and bruised, some slight yellowing to page block, some faint spotting to page fore edges, not price clipped (£16.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg copy. 149pp. 'Boneland' concludes the story that began over fifty years ago in 'The Weirdstone of Brisingamen'. If the sleeper wakes, the dream dies. Professor Colin Whisterfield spends his days at Jodrell Bank, using the radio telescope to look for his lost sister in the Pleiades. At the same time, and in another time, the Watcher cuts the rock and dances, to keep the sky above the earth and the stars flying. Colin can't remember and he remembers too much. Before the age of twelve years and nine months is a blank. After that he recalls everything, where he was, what he was doing, in every minute of every hour of every day. But Colin will have to remember what happened when he was twelve if he wants to find his sister. And the Watcher will have to find the Woman. Otherwise the skies will fall, and there will be only winter, wanderers and moon. An astonishing and disturbing exploration of the nature of memory, trauma and loss. A future classic, now quite scarce.

The crowning achievement of an astonishing career, ‘Boneland’ concludes the story that began over fifty years ago in ‘The Weirdstone of Brisingamen’.
If the sleeper wakes, the dream dies…
Professor Colin Whisterfield spends his days at Jodrell Bank, using the radio telescope to look for his lost sister in the Pleiades. At the same time, and in another time, the Watcher cuts the rock and dances, to keep the sky above the earth and the stars flying.
Colin can’t remember; and he remembers too much. Before the age of twelve years and nine months is a blank. After that he recalls everything: where he was, what he was doing, in every minute of every hour of every day.
But Colin will have to remember what happened when he was twelve, if he wants to find his sister. And the Watcher will have to find the Woman. Otherwise the skies will fall, and there will be only winter, wanderers and moon…
Alan Garner was born and still lives in Cheshire, an area which has had a profound effect on his writing and provided the seed of many ideas worked out in his books.
His fourth book, ‘The Owl Service’ brought Alan Garner to everyone’s attention. It won two important literary prizes – The Guardian Award and the Carnegie Medal – and was made into a serial by Granada Television. It has established itself as a classic and Alan Garner as a writer of great distinction.
