Alan Garner
Titan of British fantasy,Alan Garner debuted in 1960 with the magisterial novel of Cheshire myth and mystery The Weirdstone of Brisingamen,embarking on a strange and remarkable trilogy he would not conclude until 2012's haunting Boneland. Along the way,Garner completed several other children's tales,including the Carnegie Medal-winning The Owl Service, plus two novels for an adult audience.
