"Urn Burial" by Robert Westall follows the story of a group of children discovering an ancient burial site while playing near their home. As they unearth the secrets of the past, they inadvertently awaken long-buried tensions in their small community. The narrative weaves together themes of history, trauma, and the impact of the past on the present. As the children delve deeper into their findings, they confront not only the mysteries of the burial but also their own fears and relationships. The story explores the intersections of childhood curiosity and the darker sides of human nature, culminating in an unsettling revelation. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
