Fans of the remarkable Susan Cooper classic, “The Dark is Rising” have a real treat in store: BBC radio drama is set to start in a month. Script was adapted by a True Fan of the novel and it promises to be excellent. Here’s link to 6-minute promo. When they sing the “The Dark is Rising” poem at the end I literally got scalp-prickles. It’s PERFECT. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0dgrz83?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

When the Dark comes rising, six shall turn it back…

@anniebeeknits me too, oh me too, and this one is my favorite of the five. I reread it every year at midwinter, or listen to my self-made audiobook which is here http://kayray.org/susan-cooper/ (still need to record Silver on the Tree)
