Set away from Alan Garner’s beloved landscape of Alderley Edge, Elidor takes place in 1960s Manchester, an urban environment at a moment of great change. He was inspired to write this memorable urban fantasy after he visited the slum clearances in Salford with the photographer Roger Hill. Out of the rubble Garner crafted a piece of landscape writing every bit as striking as anything from Alderley Edge.
Entering the ravaged land of Elidor through a half demolished Manchester church four siblings embark on an enormously tense quest for four holy items which must be kept safe. The children return to their world unable to face up to what has happened to them. they soon stop talking about the other place, burying their treasures deep, both metaphorically and physically, in a big hole in the garden.
Charles Keeping was hired to provide illustrations, the only one of Garner’s original stories to contain pictures. It’s an inspired choice, the artist was best known at this point for his work on Rosemary Sutcliffe’s historical novels – and he combines his talent for the epic with something altogether more abstract.
This Lions paperback edition from 1977 is in good condition. There is some creasing to the edge of the front cover and some wear to the spine. Otherwise it remains well bound, with unmarked pages and is perfectly readable.
