"His best known work is probably the Arthur trilogy (2000–2003), for which he won the Guardian Prize and other recognition."

About Storm:

"The story features modern cottagers near a marshland with a renowned ghost. The younger daughter must cross the marsh alone in a family emergency, with telephone service down during a storm."
