Reading Elidor ...

I've started reading Alan Garner's Elidor - 

I found the slim Fontana half hidden under a scorching Sci Fi shocker -  

I remember standing before a class of blazered boys and long limbed girls - 

They'd listened, rapt, to the beautiful and ancient story - 

It was the last lesson of the day - 

I can still smell the perfume of the classroom chalk - 

I slipped the book into my pocket - 

I walked down the worn corridors with wonder hidden under my jacket -
