Where it sits

Notes

  • From the series record (Tales of Alderley): A genuinely 52-year sequence: the first two novels (1960, 1963) are children's fantasy set around Alderley Edge, Cheshire; Boneland (2012) is a distinct, more literary adult novel revisiting the same characters decades later -- Garner's own explicit closing volume, per Wikipedia. Internal chronology matches publication order.

Neighbouring works

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings, but they resolve to the exact same sequence for this book, so one combined line is shown instead of two identical ones.

  • Reading order, within the series Tales of Alderley: position 3 of 3: previous The Moon of Gomrath (1963)
