The Lad Of The Gad
From the author of the Booker Prize-shortlisted Treacle Walker and the Carnegie Medal and Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize-winning classic, The Owl Service
The much-loved classic, finally in ebook.
In ‘The Lad of the Gad’ Alan Garner has reworked five stories from the Gaelic layers of British folktale.
Folk and fairy tales have not always been relegated to children, and older readers will appreciate Garner’s ability to give these stories a new vitality for our time.
