Reviews

In this classic high fantasy, sequel to The Weirdstone of Brisingamen two British siblings named Colin and Susan continue to cross into a world populated by Tolkienesque characters—elves, dwarfs, and a wizard. First published in 1963, this adventure finds the youngsters unwittingly unleashing horsemen known as the Wild Hunt and facing their old evil-witch nemesis. Madoc’s plummy tones reverberate with authority. His characterisations are spot-on, and the classical music that opens and closes the chapters is moodily dark and atmospheric, adding cachet to the production. There is a ponderous quality to the tale, however, as the action never really catches fire. For listeners who enjoyed the earlier title and are fans of classic fantasy.
