Synopsis: Children and Elves seek the same treasure "[A] fantasy rooted in the quixotic to contemplative nature of children and the concerns of Celtic-Arthurian legend. It begins, personally, circumstantially, with a trick treasure hunt, and mounts to a harrowing confrontation of good and evil, as the make-believe treasure becomes more-than-real, as the Bane, a scar on the mountainside created by strip-mining, becomes not only a threat to the landscape but also a threat to the existence of the Fair Folk of the Dark Wood (y Tylwyth Teg) who dwell within the mountain." -- KirkusReviews.com (starred contemporary review, posted online with later cover image and ISBN)
