Trivia

Based on the novel 'The Dark is Rising' by Susan Cooper, which is part of a series of five books collectively called 'The Dark is Rising Sequence'. 'The Dark is Rising' is in fact the second book in the series, and the first to feature the character of Will Stanton, who is arguably the hero of the rest of the series. The first book, 'Over Sea, Under Stone' focuses on three younger children: Simon, Jane and Barney Drew, who appear in every other book in the series. The only common character between the first two books is Merriman Lyon. See more »
