Alan Garner: The Return to Brisingamen
Half a century on from writing his first novel, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, Alan Garner has enjoyed remarkable success, with none of his books ever going out of print.
John Waite came from the area where "The Weirdstone ..." was located and counts it as a major influence upon him. We follow him as he accompanies Garner to the book's original setting to find out more about the remarkable author who was twice declared dead as a child. Waite also travels to Oxford, to look at the original Weirdstone manuscript in the Bodleian library and meets one of Garner's most ardent admirers, Philip Pullman - who describes him as one of the very best authors of his kind that England has ever produced.
