There now, you see, this is precisely the sort of thing that gives me confidence: I had no idea that the word geimhreadh actually meant ‘winter’. I was under the impression that King G’s name was one of the particulars of the novel we hadn’t been able to solve. But I still knew that he –represented– Winter because of the context. (He’s old, he’s a king, he kills the Green Man, etc.)

It is years since I read Castleview, and while I feel I could at least answer some of these questions, the sensible thing to do would be to make sure I’ve got my facts straight first. I hereby bump Castleview to the top of my reading list.
