Notes
- Standalone children's portal fantasy: four English siblings in Manchester find a doorway, through a derelict church, into the dying otherworld of Elidor, and must guard four magical treasures needed to restore its light. First published by William Collins, Sons (UK, 1965); a commended runner-up for the Carnegie Medal. Confirmed as a separate, unrelated universe from Alan Garner's other two already-admitted works, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen and The Owl Service.
