Simon, Jane, and Barney, enlisted by their mysterious great-uncle, arrive in a small coastal town to help recover a priceless golden grail stolen by the forces of evil, the Dark. They are not at first aware of the strange powers of another boy brought to help, Will Stanton - nor of the sinister significance of the Greenwitch, an image of leaves and branches that for centuries has been cast into the sea for good luck in fishing and harvest.

Their search for the grail sets into motion a series of disturbing, sometimes dangerous events that, at their climax, bring forth a gift that, for a time at least, will keep the Dark from rising.

Critic reviews

"Alec Jennings does a superb job of reading this tale....His expression and pacing suit the story well, and he is at ease with Cornish names and words." (School Library Journal)

I read this series as a child and loved it. Returning to it as an adult but read to like a child has been thrilling.

The narrator is very talented. He is able to embody both male and female characters as well as giving the sensing of young and old.

Worth the revisit

This is a wonderful 3rd book in the series by Susan Cooper of fantasy and good vs evil. The series is reminiscent of CSLewis and Narnia although not quite as visual IMO. As an adult I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to the series as I drive throughout the week. Great entertainment for young and old!

Alex Jennings' superb narration!

I can't say enough good about this series. It's a piece of my childhood. And this book was my favorite of the series. Each story has a slightly different tone. I think this may have been the most personal of the stories that Susan Cooper wrote, since she said she identified with Jane, which this story follows more closely than the others.

This isn't the strongest of the Cooper books but it is fun to see the team up of Merriman and Will with the Drew children from the first book.

Fun team up of characters

Loved it, brought me back to my childhood. I found it very amusing to hear the narrator dabble with varying accents... Impressed with his American/British hybrid accent! They should totally contract a studio ghibli project for this entire series!

Nice blast from the past

This series is highly underrated as a place holder between C.S. Lewis and Harry Potter, but in many ways it's every bit as good as both. Where those series rely heavily on fantasy this series uses actual history to flesh out the narrative.

Although originally aimed at young adults these books are a must read for anyone interested in Arthuriana or anyone who just enjoys well written fantasy.

Whimsical Fun

I give it a 4 only because of how it was edited,. The chapters cut off almost in the middle of the last words which makes it feel rushed. They also crammed multiple chapters of the book into single chapters in the app.

Great Story weird editing.

I love Susan Cooper's books, have read this series many times over the years since I first discovered it - it's excellently crafted! Such a delight to find it in audio, and narrated by Alex Jennings: a TERRIFIC voice, exactly right for The Dark Is Rising tales. ... I know I'll get just as much enjoyment every time I listen to these stories in future. Many thanks to all involved!

Couldn't stop listening! :-)
