* Red Shift ( novel ), a novel by Alan Garner

The Weirdstone of Brisingamen: A Tale of Alderley is a children's fantasy novel written by the English author Alan Garner ( 1934 –).

Alan Garner was born in the front room of his grandmother's house in Congleton, Cheshire, on 17 October 1934.

Growing up in a " a rural working-class family ", Garner's ancestry had been connected to Alderley Edge since at least the 16th century, with Alan tracing his lineage back to the death of William Garner in 1592.

Alan's own grandfather, Joseph Garner, " could read, but didn't and so was virtually unlettered ", but instead taught his grandson the various folk tales about The Edge, with Alan later remarking that as a result he was " aware of Edge's magic " as a child, when he would often play there with his friends.

Philip himself would devote a chapter to both The Weirdstone of Brisingamen and The Moon of Gomrath in his book A Fine Anger: A Critical Introduction to the Work of Alan Garner ( 1981 ), which was based on his earlier Ph. D thesis awarded by the University of London the previous year.
