Episode 133 - Greenwitch, by Susan Cooper

Dragon Babies

We’re celebrating Halloween with a return to the icons that started it all: Celtic witch effigies! Greenwitch continues the exquisite Dark is Rising Sequence by throwing us for a weird, wonderful loop - forget the big stakes Light vs. Dark battle, let’s narrow in on a wayward angry painter and a spring holiday in Trewissick. The Drew children and Will Stanton meet, solve a dognapping, and get into mind-altering yet somehow still relatively low-key exploits, all while Cooper’s gorgeous prose draws us further into this ancient seaside mystery. We’re throwing an all-night crafting party - join us!

*Note - some listeners have expressed frustration with a few of our especially meandering book summaries and if you are one of them, this episode is probably not for you! This book is dreamlike and so are we!!
