About this audiobook

On holiday in Cornwall, the three children discover an ancient map in the attic of the house that hey are staying in. They know immediately that it is special. It is even more than that--the key to finding a grail, a source of power to fight the forces of evil known as the Dark. And in searching for it themselves, the Drews put their lives in peril.

This is the first volume of Susan Cooper's brilliant and absorbing fantasy sequence know as The Dark is Rising.

A lovely adventure story that never fails to exite both adults and young readers / listeners. The narration of the audio book is very well done. A pleasant voice and easy to listen to.
