Another nice story. The boggarts are...slightly less alien, because their behavior is more human, though it's repeatedly described as unusual for them. The side characters are excellent - they read like complete people who have just dropped in to play a part here, not props set up to take the role. Again, I had apparently read it long before, but didn't remember it at all. ( )

A neat little tale of magic, mayhem and the soul of ancient things. It made me yearn for something nameless. ( )

Another great reading by David Rintoul. I liked the Boggart better, but I just wanted him to keep reading. ( )

Unfortunately this isn't my favorite Susan Cooper book. I prefer the timeless theme in The Dark is Rising, for instance. However, this is an imaginative, playful story, and is worth reading once. ( )

The same, unadulterated Scotland that I fell in love with. ( )
