The Dark is Rising is the title of the second book in a series by 
Susan Cooper.  The books are:
Over Sea, Under Stone
The Dark is Rising
Greenwitch
The Grey King
Silver on the Tree

They are all excellent - I was re-reading 'Over Sea, Under Stone' 
just this morning.  The character in question is quite a lot like 
Dumbledore, he knows a lot more than anyone else and he lets the 
children go off on their own to solve their own problems, and, like 
Dumbledore, he gets revealed in all his power.  

Anyway, they're great books.
