Even though I read a lot of fantasy, I only discovered this series recently when finding Newbery books on Scribd. I would classify this as high low fantasy as it is set in the real world but has epic quest features of high fantasy.
The book delves into British folklore, borrowing heavily from Arthurian legend along with Welsh elements and the greenwitch. It bogged down at times so I wouldn't count it among my favorite fantasy.
