The Dark Is Rising. I read it first time round. A powerful book aimed at a young audience but one that adults could enjoy just as much. I am unable to 'toot' the depths and wonders of this book series. It has a deep magic and connects to the British landscape and its inherent myths. The battle against darkness poignant to now. The imagery wild and ancient. We need stories that fuel us. #thedarkisrising #susancooper #literarature #celticmyth #druid #cymru #merlin #books https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w13xtvp7

Oh no, Bookforum is closing after their next issue. Hate to see good literary magazines go. I've been a subscriber for a few years. Always something worth reading. #books #literarature #magazines #bookstodon
