About this listen

Boneland is Alan Garner’s continuation of the story thread which began in his first and enduringly popular fantasy children’s novel, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, published in 1960, it has never been out of print. The Moon of Gomrath followed in 1963 taking the story further with the same two children, Colin and Susan. But Boneland is particularly fascinating because it takes the story into adulthood, with Colin again the main proponent. Boneland is read by the experienced actor Robert Powell, at the request of Alan Garner himself.

A stunning narration could not save a poor ending to the trilogy. The story is complex and well written but it does not give closure. I loved the Weird Stone of Brisingamen when I read it at school 50 years ago, it was a great story. Alan Garner has never wanted to do the the follow up books and I guess that shows.

A stunning narration

Really enjoyed the first two books but this feels like it is from another genre and has left me unsatisfied

confusing end to what was a great story

Having found childhood memories of the Weirdstone and Gomrath books I down loaded the 'set's. Boneland is way more dark and a book you have to concentrate on, reading or listening. If you have read the previous books its slightly less bewildering but only just, nevertheless its gripping as you want to try and make sense of the story

Not an easy listen but still gripping

Loved it, Robert Powell was brilliant. Ordered it to read for deeper perusal and thought

Classic Garner - all the themes

The book and the story is good, but it is not part of the trilogy, its meant to be, but it simply is not.

Not what you expect
