![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To help the Drews in their quest to recover the Grail and locate the missing manuscript, Merriman has brought along Will Stanton, the boy we first met in The Dark is Rising. However, the inscription on the Grail can be of no use to the Dark without the manuscript that will help to decipher it – and the manuscript is lost at the bottom of the sea. The Grail, which played such a big part in Over Sea, has been stolen from the British Museum and the children know who is responsible: the forces of the Dark. The novel opens with the Drew children – Simon, Jane and Barney – whom we met in Over Sea, Under Stone, returning to Trewissick in Cornwall with their Great Uncle Merriman. It brings together characters from both the first book and the second, so I would recommend reading both of those before starting this one, if possible. I loved the first two books, so I was pleased to find that I enjoyed this one just as much. Greenwitch is the third novel in Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising sequence. ![]()
