Note:
The novel was written and marketed for children, but some critics questioned that. It was adapted by Garner and the BBC as a television film, broadcast 1978-01-17, "screened at peak viewing time with no mention of the fact that it was originally published as a children's novel."
--from Brian Lee, "Children's Books Grow Up", The Contemporary Review 1978-08-01 pp. 85-88 (quoted in full below)
Publisher advertisement, The Observer 1973-10-07 p40, quotes a Sunday Times review by Margery Fisher, "... it would be equally insulting to children and to Alan Garner to tread RED SHIFT as anything but a superbly exciting piece of literature."
