No resolution, no wrap up, just mission accomplished, drop curtain.The Weirdstone of Brisingamen was published in 1960 and features siblings Colin and Susan who have just arrived at the village of Alderley Edge in Cheshire, due south of Manchester, for an extended stay while their parents are out of the country. What I find most interesting is that these stories each end quite abruptly at the climax showing that the initial problem that spurred the story has been addressed. These are bog standard classic British fantasies derived from folklore of the British Isles. I found a boxed set of 4 children's stories written by Alan Garner.
