Two of the most remarkable and imaginative books ever written in the UK, known to ignite the imaginations of teenagers and young adults, were written by Alan Garner, an author of Alderley Edge, a small Manchester suburb. The books, the Weirdstone of Brasingermen and the Moon of Gomrath, both describe the adventures of the teenage children Colin and Susan, on their epic adventures in the local woodland of Alderley Edge, and the outlying areas, stretching as far as Macclesfield.
