      There is a Welsh legend about a harp of gold, hidden within a certain hill, that will be found by a boy and a white dog with silver eyes -- a dog that can see the wind. Will Stanton knew nothing of this when he came to Wales to recover from a severe illness. But when he met Bran, a strange boy who owned a white dog, he began to remember. For Will is the last-born of the Old Ones, immortals dedicated to saving the world from the forces of evil, the Dark. And it is Will's task to wake-with the golden harp -- the six who must be roused from their long slumber in the Welsh hills to prepare for the last battle between the Dark and the Light.

      The Dark is rising in its last and greatest bid to control the world. And Will Stanton -- last-born of the immortal Old Ones, dedicated to keeping the world free -- must join forces with this ageless master Merriman and Bran, the Welsh boy whose destiny ties him to the Light. Drawn in with them are the three Drew children, who are mortal, but have their own vital part in the story. These six fight fear and death in the darkly brooding Welsh hills, in a quest through time and space that touches the most ancient myths of the British Isles, and that brings Susan Cooper's masterful sequence of novels to a satisfying close.

    • 1986

      Die Ratte Robert ist ein nachdenkliches Geschöpf, das sich von Anfang an von dem Rest der Rattenfamilie unterscheidet. Durch Zufall macht Robert die Bekanntschaft Ashmadis, einer Küchenmagd, in die er sich verliebt. Als die gute Fee Mara, Ashmadis Patin, ihr hilft, zum Ball in den königlichen Palast zu fahren, verwandelt sie einen Kürbis in eine Kutsche und Robert in den Kutscher. Zwar wird er um Mitternacht wieder zur Ratte, aber die Rückverwandlung ist unvollständig, denn er hat anstelle der Rattensprache die menschliche Sprache behalten. Die anderen Ratten, mit denen er sich nicht mehr verständigen kann, stoßen ihn aus … Eine phantastische Mixtur aus Märchen, Fabel, Allegorie, Zeitkritik und Melodrama.
