The Dark is Rising

[Debi]

Has this been out at the cinema yet? i'm sure i saw it advertised but don't remember when it is supposed to be out. it was one of the first fantasy books/series i read as a child (not counting the magic faraway tree). i'm rereading the books now and they are just as good. what i call real magic, ancient gods and myths etc. :catgrey:

[Princess Leia]

sounds like my sort of thing and the title is familiar but I can't place it - is it Ursula Le Guin ??

susan cooper, written in the 70s mostly
1. over sea, under stone
2. the dark is rising
3. greenwitch
4. the grey king
5. silver tree

it had prophecies written as poems which i remembered from being a child, full of old magic, the wild hunt etc. set in Cornwall and linked to King Arthur and all the old cornish legends. Should make a good film (fingers crossed)

[Princess Leia]

aaahhh - I remember now :)

I'm going to have to go and find them and re-read them :D
