Synopsis: The Moon of Gomrath is a 160 page fantasy novel written by the widely acclaimed children's fantasy author Alan Garner and first published in 1963. It is the sequel of The Weirdstone of Brisingamen. The summary by William Collins Publishers reads as follows: In the woods on Alderley Edge, Susan and her brother Colin chance upon the Elf Lord, who leads them back to Fundindelve and the wizard Cadellin. The elves desperately need Susan's magic bracelet and, against the advice of Cadellin, Susan lends it to them-only to find herself, without its protection, in such terrible danger that even Cadellin cannot help her. The Old Magic from the beginning of the world has been held in check by the High Magic of thoughts and spells, but must now be called upon to save her. But the Old Magic, once awakened, grows more and more powerful and uncontrollable, until finally a band of wild ancient horsemen and old evil spirits are set loose. Colin is captured by a witch. It is up to Susan alone to fight against the evil magic. Alan Garner, winner of the Carnegie Medal, the Guardian Award, and many other honors for his outstanding books for young readers here creates a richly detailed fantasy world drawn from his deep knowledge of folklore and tales of ancient magic. Susan is a heroine all readers will admire, and her final blast on the horn of Angharad Goldenhand is a thrilling climax to an exciting story.
