The Owl Service

When Alison traces the pattern from an old dinner service, she discovers it makes up the shape of an owl. But in releasing the design from the plates, she unleashes an ancient Welsh myth that tries to give itself new life in her, her step-brother Roger and their friend Gwyn. Unexplained noises coming from everywhere and nowhere; uncertain tensions between friends and families; something is stirring... Alan Garner's award-winning story is a reimagining of a tale from the Mabinogion, in a landscape where the past is present at every turn but can only be faced by three contemporary teenagers. Thrilling and beautiful, The Owl Service will resonate with you for years to come.
