Collected Folk Tales by Alan Garner

4.0

No matter how hard one may try, it is extremely difficult to express that particular feeling in dreams when the fantastical is immediately accepted as ordinary. Alan Garner’s prose is woven with that indescribable feeling. Without a wasted word, he manages to convince readers instantly that there is nothing random about blood tinted, or the fact that April can be tasted. Each story, passed on by generations, teaches the human mind's incredible capability of making the incredible acceptable and understanding.
