I watched the Gillian Hills tv movie of this which was an awesome adaptation. This book follows the myth of Bloeuwedd. It deals with three teenagers: the housekeeper's son Gwyn, Alison, and her stepbrother Roger. It begins with a girl finding some plates of owls in the attic. It also deals with the housekeeper's mother's past. Alison starts to have a secret friendship with Gwyn. Garner likes to deal with myths in his books. I read another one of his. I think Alan Garner is talented in mixing new fiction and mythology. I'm excited to read another one of his books in the future.
