Susan Cooper's Dark Is Rising is one of the best children's fantasy book series ever written, and everyone who likes fantasy should read it.
Yes, it was written quite a long time ago (1965) and the details reflect that, but I read it first time in the 80s, and I didn't feel it was the least old-fashioned or outdated.
Now I'm an adult, I have read it dozens of times, and I still love to reread it, and I still feel the... uneasiness, fear, excitement, worry... One thing though, it felt it took a LOT longer for things to happen back at 80s :-D
