Book description
An enchanting and beautifully illustrated memoir of personal struggle and the joy of exploring ancient landscapes, which uncovers the wonder of Britain's megaliths alongside a story of grief, hope and love.'Superb' Telegraph'There's a real sense of peace and magic in this beautiful book' Daisy Buchanan'Utterly endearing' Dr James Canton'A fantastic book for weird walkers and megalith-obsessives alike' Weird WalkJourneying across Britain, from West Penwith and Avebury to the Lake District and Orkney, Stone Lands uncovers the magic and rich history of our incredible prehistoric standing stones. It conveys the delight that lies in tracking them down, as well as the solace these ancient places offer in times of darkness.A few months after discovering that her beloved husband, Stephen, had incurable cancer, Fiona Robertson began to write this book. A long-time megalith enthusiast, she found the ancient stones resonated with her more profoundly than ever as she faced the prospect of losing him. Set upright thousands of years ago, the megaliths are symbols of endurance and survival, standing in contrast to our ephemeral human lives. Infused with folklore, legend and mystery, they enchant the landscape and bring magic to our modern world.This enthralling memoir is woven delicately around great grief but is ultimately about embracing life, joy and ancient wonder - a luminous reminder of what it means to exist on this earth.Stone Lands is beautifully illustrated inside with stunning black and white line drawings by the illustrator and printmaker Philip Harris.
