John,

This is the first of Susan Cooper's cycle of kidlit THE DARK IS RISING -- five 
excellent books which are:
	1.  Over  Sea, Under Stone
	2.  The Dark Is Rising
	3.  Greenwitch
	4.  The Grey King
	5.  Silver on the Tree

All are  excellent; I recommend the highly.  


****SPOILER WARNING****












Some find the ending of the series offensive for reasons I do not personally
understand but which are related to the removal of the memories of magic from
the "mortal" characters
.
