The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper begins on midwinter's eve. Re-reading it is a seasonal ritual for many fans of the book. As it's that time again, I thought I'd share a few experimental illustrations that I made for in 2017. Here, the hero Will meets Herne.

A Merry Midwinter to All!
from https://t.co/n72PJeGYFc

In midwinter our ancestors rejoiced, looking forward to the spring and the promise of bounty which the new sun promised.

‘Solstice’ roughly translates to ‘sun stands still’- as it was believed the sun was suspended in the sky on these occasions.
