The Grey King is the fourth book in Susan Cooper’s celebrated The Dark Is Rising fantasy sequence and winner of the 1976 Newbery Medal. Set amid the mountains and ancient legends of Wales, the story follows Will Stanton as he becomes caught in a dangerous quest involving a mysterious white dog, a golden harp, the ancient Sleepers, and the continuing struggle between the forces of Light and Dark. Rich in Welsh mythology, magic, prophecy, and atmospheric fantasy, it is one of the best-known books in Cooper’s series. This copy is explicitly marked “First Edition” on the copyright page and retains its striking Newbery Medal dust jacket, making it an appealing collectible edition of this award-winning children’s fantasy classic.
