The Weirdstone of Brisingamen

Susan and Colin have been sent to their mother's nurse for 6 months. The two children rapidly adjust to life in the country around Alderley Edge, but find an unusual interest in Susan's 'Tear', a stone hanging from a bracelet passed to their mother by Bess Mossack, the nurse. They find that this stone has been the object of a prolonged search by both light and dark forces. Myths awake, and the children and their mentors, human, dwarf and elf, set out on a quest to return the stone before the twilight of the gods can descend.
