Home Susan Cooper The Dark Is Rising. They both looked out of the window. The snow lay thin and apologetic over the world. That wide grey sweep was the lawn, with the straggling trees of the orchard still dark beyond; the white squares were the roofs of the garage, the old barn, the rabbit hutches, the chicken coops. Further back there were only the flat fields of Dawsons’ Farm, dimly white-striped. All the broad sky was grey, full of more snow that refused to fall. There was no colour anywhere. Four days to Christmas, Will said.

The five books in ‘The Dark is Rising Sequence’ are among my most treasured books from my childhood. I have read them so many times they are battered and creased and faded. The Grey King, the fourth book, returns to the point-of-view of Will. He wakes after a long and terrible illness with no memory of his role as an Old One and at risk from the forces of the Dark who seek to strike him own while he is vulnerable. Sent to Wales to recuperate, Will meets an albino teenager called Bran who has a strange dog like a wolf.
Ana has been reading The Dark Is Rising Sequence for the past few months. Old School Wednesdays is a weekly Book Smugglers feature. Today, she takes on book 4, The Grey King. We came up with the idea towards the end of 2012, when both Ana and Thea were feeling exhausted from the never-ending inundation of New and Shiny (and often over-hyped) books. What better way to snap out of a reading fugue than to take a mini-vacation into the past? Logo designed by the wonderful KMont. Title: The Grey King. Author: Susan Cooper. Genre: Children, Fantasy.

Book 4 of 5 in "The Dark is Rising" series. By the pleasant lake the Sleepers lie, On Cadfan's Way where the kestrels call; Though grim from the Grey King shadows fall, Yet singing the golden harp shall guide To break their sleep and bid them ride. When light from the lost land shall return, Six Sleepers shall ride, six Signs shall burn, And where the midsummer tree grows tall By Pendragon's sword the Dark shall fall. Y maent yr mynyddoedd yn canu, ac y mae'r arglwyddes yn dod. Prologue.
