Alan Garner has a new book out. I had no idea it was in the pipeline. He's written about his childhood. Or at least, he's written about his childhood from his point of view as that child, at Alderley Edge. I'm very much looking forward to reading it.

Funnily enough there was an Q/A article in The Newstatesman the other week with Alan Garner, on the two latest books that have influenced him they were, Richard Bradley's - Archaeology of Natural Places, and Jay Appleton's - The Experience of Landscape. This last book is written by a geographer (and very expensive) in the 1970s.
