Boneland is Alan Garner's continuation of the story thread which began in his first and enduringly popular fantasy children's novel, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, published in 1960. The Moon of Gomrath followed in 1963 taking the story further with the same two children, Colin and Susan. Boneland follows its main proponent, Colin, into adulthood as he continues his search for his lost sister, whose voice he hears calling to him from the heavens.
