A mixture of english folklore and particle physics, although I only learned that last bit from listening to a podcast about the book afterwards. To me it seemed to be about comics coming to life rather than the elasticity of time, the duality of things and the ability to exist and not exist simultaneously. But I probably just don't think enough about books or take the time to reflect on them before cracking open another. Alan Garner is so feted I should spend more time getting to know his books, I've only read The Owl Service before, which was ok but didn't envelope me. Maybe I would have felt differently reading it when I was younger, I'm not really the demographic now.
