I loved Narnia, too... Read them all over and over, though I never stopped being devastated by The Last Battle and hence revisited it less frequently than the others. I've never heard of Alan Garner, though! After reading your piece, I'm intrigued and want to check them out (possibly from the library, albeit on a less permanent basis!).
Roffle! I guess Alan Garner’s books never made it over the pond then? Shame! He’s really good. I’d recommend The Owl Service, I think it’s his best one.

I guess not! Seems like I would have discovered them if they'd been available. Lloyd Alexander (Prydain and Westmark) was my other obsession.
New one on me. Will investigate, cheers!
