[Anthony G Williams]

Just finished re-reading (for the first time in decades) Alan Garner's The Weirdstone of Brisingamen. Written for children, but written well enough to grip adults too. It's a fantasy with some vaguely Tolkienesque echoes, but the heroes are two normal children and it's set in Cheshire - it describes a lot of the physical features around Alderley Edge.

I like stories which start off with normal people in a real location and then you find there's a lot more going on than meets the eye...
