Continuum: The Dark Is Rising 50th Anniversary Interview with Susan Cooper https://t.co/mmHOx5Hems
Welcome to the 2025 Readathon! Some of you are well into Midwinter's Eve depending on your time zone.
I hope everyone enjoys the decades-old tradition of reading The Dark Is Rising. Post your thoughts!

Merry Christmas, everyone! I appreciate all of you and I hope and pray you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year and if you don't celebrate, may the light of the season still provide some happiness and hope!
MY BOOK ‘HOLY GRAIL’ ❤️
With enormous thanks to Les Ashton of Ashton Rare Books, after many years of searching I have finally secured a first edition/first printing of Susan Cooper’s extraordinary landmark novel THE DARK IS RISING (1973).
Even better, it’s a signed presentation/association copy, given by the author to fellow children’s author Jill Paton-Walsh.
I am overjoyed! 😊
Midwinter's Eve and the start of another reading of The Dark Is Rising is fast approaching! In my northern clime, we have the snow, just missing the rooks. I hope your Christmas/holiday preparations are going well and you are staying healthy! Happy Reading!
It would be remiss not to mention that 2025 was the 50th anniversary of award-winning The Grey King. Not only did it win the Newbery Medal but also the inaugural English-language Tir na n-Og Award for children's literature with an authentic Welsh background.
