![]() ![]() What I liked about Over Sea, Under Stone was that it hit some of the key children’s fantasy tropes for me: Up to this part, the story sounds very much like a Famous Five type of story but the introduction of strange and sinister characters (hidden behind a veil of normalcy) tell us that this is quite a different story from the Blyton books… While exploring the holiday house, they come across an old map. In Over Sea, Under Stone, Simon, Jane, and Barney are on holiday to Cornwall with their parents and Great Uncle Merry. So I borrowed a copy of this from the library and settled in for a rollicking ride. I read the Dark is Rising sequence way back when I was in school, but reading Re-Enchanted made me want to re-read this series (especially since I remember liking it). ![]()
