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.
