From School Library Journal

Grades 4-7--In this third book in Susan Cooper's Dark Is Rising sequence (McElderry, 1985), Simon, Jane, and Barney return to Cornwall with their Uncle Merry after learning that the grail they had found in Over Sea, Under Stone (Harcourt, 1966) has been stolen from the British Museum. Will Stanton and his American uncle come to Cornwall as well, and initially there is some tension between the children. The locals are preparing for a celebration in which the women fashion a being from sticks and leaves and toss it into the sea. Jane's kindness wins the favor of this mystical effigy and it yields its secret the manuscript that will make it possible to decipher the writing on the grail. Although the grail has been stolen by the Dark, it is found and the writing proves to be the prophetic rhyme whose words will be fulfilled in the next books. The story requires some knowledge of the previous books, and only becomes complete after reading the subsequent books. This exciting and beautifully written story is filled with magic and mystery. It is unfortunate that the man who stole the grail identifies himself as part Romany, or Gypsy, thus reinforcing a negative stereotype. Alec Jennings does a superb job of reading this tale, as he has done with the first two books in the series. His expression and pacing suit the story well, and he is at ease with Cornish names and words. There are two places where editing cuts words short: when Merry tells the children to "look it up" it sounds like "crit up," and when the thief tells Barney to "open the box" it sounds like "pen the box." These quibbles aside, the technical quality is excellent. Libraries in which this series is popular will want this recording if they are buying the others in the sequence. Otherwise, The Dark Is Rising (Aug. 1999, p. 68) and The Grey King (Oct. 2001, p. 89) are more vital purchases.

Product Description

Read by Alex Jennings
approx. 4.5 hours
3 cassettes

Simon, Jane and Barney, enlisted by their mysterious great uncle, arrive in a small coastal town to help recover a priceless golden grail stolen by the forces of evil, the Dark. They are not a first aware of the strange powers of another boy brought to help, Will Stanton—nor of the sinister significance of the Greenwitch, an image of leaves and branches that for centuries has been cast into the sea for good luck in fishing and harvest.
Their search for the grail sets into motion a series of disturbing, sometimes dangerous events that, at their climax, bring forh a gift that, for a time at least, will keep the Dark from rising.

Alex Jennings has a long list of credits in British theatre, television, and film. He has also worked with the BBC Radio Repertory Company. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A great adventure/quest! Shared it with my grandson!, Jui 3 2006

This review is from: Greenwitch (Mass Market Paperback)
Greenwitch is a wonderful book. I bought it at a garage sale for my grandson. He's twelve and thinks he's too big for me to read it to him, so let me borrow it when he was through.

We discussed it afterward and agreed that it was an exciting "witch" adventure/quest. It's an older book, but I'm going to try to find the rest of this series.

Ms. Cooper has incorporated all the elements that should make this book a classic to be enjoyed for generations to come.

Great job; highly recommended for boys and girls. Grandparents, too. LOL

This review is from: Greenwitch (Mass Market Paperback)
This book, while not living up to the standard of "The Dark is Rising", is far better than "Over Sea, Under Stone". It eliminates the "Hardy Boys" feel of the first book, and maintains some of the mystery of the second book. It also throws in a more in-your-face kind of supernatural force than the "Dark Shadows" feel of the second book. If a movie had to be made about one of these books, of the three I've read so far it would need to be this one. Primarily because the Greenwitch, and Will and Merri's journey into the sea would provide a director with enough CGI images to keep him happy.

4.0étoiles sur 5 The Dark is rising and the Greenwich is part of it, Juil 22 2003
Par Joshua Koppel (Chicago, IL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Greenwitch (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the third book in the Dark is Rising series. The first two are Over Sea, Under Stone and The Dark is Rising. There has been some debate as to which book is first. I read Under Sea, Under Stone first in hardcover (it claimed to be first) but my wife read The Dark is Rising first. We both enjoyed the series.

You really should read both before this one as the characters from the two books come together. This is a direct sequel to the events in Under Sea, Under Stone.

The kids, Simon, Jane, and Barney, return to Cornwall where they meet Will Stanton (The Dark is Rising). The Greenwich is under the sea and she has something Will needs. Simon, Jane and Barney know what happened to the object and they combine forces to get it back.

This is the thinnest of the series, but it is very pivotal. It brings together two casts and sets the stage for the rest of the series. I found it to be one of the most enjoyable as it was rather straight forward.

A fun book for readers of fantasy young and old, but make sure you read the first two books first.
