Alan Garner’s books are included as, of course, many of his stories are based on legends and folk stories. #TreacleWalker
'The cut horse stretched along the whole length. The line of the body, tail and legs was made of five curves; the head square, the eye a dot, the ears two spikes, the muzzle and open beak.'
Treacle Walker, by Alan Garner.

"I perch on a low beam and Garner tells me that this is where his protagonist Joe Coppock sits. ‘The chimney wrote #TreacleWalker [https://t.co/j3FopwBIef], I didn’t,’ says #AlanGarner." via @spectator https://t.co/BMGXf2zit2
#TreacleWalker by #AlanGarner (https://t.co/0J6QpLUTEP) "is a marvel. It’s hard to think of anything quite like it. Not many books dream aloud & invite the reader into that dream."—#CynthiaZarin https://t.co/gQQ8tSGBSt
"#AlanGarner’s #TreacleWalker [https://t.co/NLEZ5H9fQD], finally released in the United States a year after its British publication, is a slim and powerful novel of memory, mortality, and landscape." @tordotcom https://t.co/64dpw4G4za
#TreacleWalker (https://t.co/SJg7QbJvIZ) "examines knowledge and blindness, but its central concern is time, and what it means to step beyond its constraints." via @NewYorker https://t.co/ksbQeErNAk
An extraordinary, “playful, moving, & wholly remarkable” (@Guardian) coming-of-age novel filled with myth & magic from one of England's greatest living writers—Alan Garner's #TreacleWalker, a 2022 Booker Prize shortlist selection, is out in the US today! https://t.co/XsbptzcHg0
"An intensely beautiful reflection on a life, where time is swollen, swirling...Myth, folklore, memories, recollection & dreams are intermingled...with the touch of Garner’s genius to fall into. Just stunning."—Becky Doherty #TreacleWalker @NorthshireBooks https://t.co/uXPVihIOIp
“Hypnotic and surreal…#AlanGarner blends accessible prose with elliptical references to Northern England mythology…alluring.” #TreacleWalker via @PublishersWkly https://t.co/ptt0PUjLk5
"Alluring, elusive, and quick—a fable for adolescents, and for those willing to revisit the murk and jumble of adolescence." #TreacleWalker by #AlanGarner via @KirkusReviews https://t.co/38a6IQtjO4
»Den größten Zauber aber entfaltet der (wunderbar eingedeutschte) Text in der Sprache, einem grandiosen Gebilde aus Fremdwörtern und Gossenslang, aus Pathos und Vagantensprache.«
Ralf Stiftel, Westfälischer Anzeiger

I stepped into the world of Treacle Walker and seem to have left part of myself between the pages. I'm not sure how #AlanGarner did it, but there's something weirdly magical about this one. #TreacleWalker
A #longread blog about Alan Garner's @TheBookerPrizes-shortlisted #TreacleWalker, published by @4thEstateBooks 👇https://t.co/7mWI6QxiD7
@MikeWalters60 Interesting. Why did you love it so? I am rereading it but I was deflated by how alienated from the text I felt at the end. I haven't read his later work, though, so perhaps that would have helped ease me into #TreacleWalker. Surely no work needs eleven 'buy this!' quotations?
I am a real #AlanGarner fan but this is no #Brisingamen or #OwlService or #Elidor or #Gomrath or #RedShift because, for my taste, it is just too much of a guessing game. Sorry, @4thEstateBooks, I so badly wanted to love #TreacleWalker but I don't, or at least not yet. #VeesReads
Oh dear. Wondering if there isn't a touch of The Emperor's New Clothes about the #Booker-shortlist-inspired eulogies on the cover of #TreacleWalker. I found what he has to say fairly impenetrable - but in my defence I disliked all the neologisms in #RoaldDahl's BFG too.
