Been a while since I posted one of these (I'm trying to keep up with all the reading I'm doing!). Number 36 is Alan Garner. I don't read much children's lit, so I can't comment on his work. I guess I wasn't much of a reader as a child. Mostly Greek Mythology picture books and Wizards, Warriors, and You (if you know this, you're awesome). Garner doesn't view himself as children's lit writer, but his stories seem to be identified as such. He's written several novels and short story collections and has won awards for them such as the Carnegie Medal.
Anyone ever read Alan Garner?
