"One of the best kid's fantasy series"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Superbly written and great light vs dark story lines with mythic underpinnings. Read as a child and still re read every year or 2 decades later. Personal favourites are The Dark is Rising (#2) and The Grey King (#4) – focused on Will Stanton, the 11 year old ‘Old One’. An awesome gift for both boys and girls (poss girls more so-) if they enjoy fantasy – approx age 8–12 best, but enjoyable at any age :)

Description

The Dark Is Rising series complete boxed set includes all 5 books: Over Sea, Under Stone / The Dark Is Rising / Greenwitch / The Grey King / Silver on the Tree.

Epic. Bestselling. Award-winning. The complete Dark Is Rising Sequence is now available as one keepsake collection. Will Stanton's ordinary life is shattered with the dreadful revelation that the Dark–the source of all evil–is rising in its last and greatest bid to control the world.

He finds that he is no ordinary boy, but the last-born of the Old Ones, immortals dedicated to keeping mankind free from the Dark. Soon Will is swept up in the great battle, along with his ageless master, Merriman; the three Drew children, who are mortal but have their own vital part to play; and a strange boy named Bran. These six fight fear and death in a quest through time and space interwoven with the most ancient myths of the islands of Britain–until, at last, Will and Bran find the weapon that will ultimately vanquish the Dark.

One of the most celebrated fantasy sequences of all time, The Dark Is Rising is a searing, epic rendering of the eternal conflict between good and evil. This complete collection includes “Over Sea, Under Stone; The Dark Is Rising; Greenwitch; The Grey King; "and” Silver on the Tree."
