Character description

Title: Over sea, under stone

Author: Susan Cooper

Genre: Fantasy, thriller

Great-Uncle Merry is a grandfatherly figure, he is tall, standing straight,  with a lot of thick, wild

white hair. He mysteriously vanishes not returning home for a vast period of time. Then suddenly

(after possibly months) he arrives through the Drew's front door as if he had never been away. Although he had been gone for quite some time he looked as though he hadn't stepped foot out of the house. In his grim brown face his nose curves fiercely, like a bent bow and the eyes are deep-set and dark as usual as he tells everyone his adventure of discovering uncharted territories. The newspaper publishes these enthusiastic stories of what Great-Uncle Merry has done. Unfortunately by the time the reporters came knocking at the door, Great-Uncle Merry would be back to the dusty peace of the university where he taught.
