A reprint of this classic fantasy story, first published in 1965, illustrated with black and white line drawings by Charles Keeping. Four children in Manchester chance on a ruined church where the fabric of time and place is weak enough to allow them entry into the strange world of Elidor which is threatened by the powers of evil.

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.

No foxing to the page block edges, but there is a light stain to the fore-edge - not affecting the interior pages.

Paper stock tanned due to the cheap paper stock used by some publishers at this time. Spine tight. ***In a near fine colour-illustrated dustwrapper that is unpriced. The dustwrapper is complete with no creases or tears, just very light edge rubbing. No fading even to the colours on the spine. The back panel is also very clean, despite having a white background.

Fear, urgency and courage ride the pages like the unicorn who occupies so much of the second half of the book.' - Times Educational supplement (Quote and review quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***An eleventh impression of the true first edition of Alan Garner's third novel, complete in its original attractive colour-illustrated dustwrapper, in very nice condition. Many of these hardback editions from the period went to libraries, and relatively few have survived in such nice condition. Of interest to collectors of Alan Garner and classic twentieth century literary children's books. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Codice articolo 8489
