Stone Lands by Fiona Robertson Out now - the amazing new book Stone Lands by Fiona Robertson who was executive Editor on The Old Stones. I think it's fair to say our book wouldn't have happened without her drive, knowledge and enthusiasm and Fiona has come up with something extraordinary again here. To me Prof. Josh Pollard sums up Stone Lands best: ‘Written with great craft, sensitivity and authority, Fiona Robertson offers a wonderfully evocative, and at times deeply personal and poignant, account of the ancient sites and landscapes of Britain. There is a resonance here to artists and writers such as Nash, Ravilious and Blake, and that tradition of deeply embedded landscape romanticism and sense of place that runs through our engagement with traces of a prehistoric past.’ Order Stone Lands now from the Megalithic Portal Online Shop £25 with FREE* UK shipping.

Fiona meets many interesting characters on her journey, including our very own Andy B who also served as Archaeology Editor on Stone Lands. Journeying 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. 'There's a real sense of peace and magic in this beautiful book' Daisy Buchanan 'Utterly endearing' Dr James Canton Fiona began to write this book a few months after discovering that her beloved husband, Stephen, had incurable cancer. 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, 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 http://www.philipharrisillustration.com 'A reminder that the ancient stones can be sources of reassurance and solidity, even in our times of greatest upheaval and loss' Angeline Morrison Order Stone Lands now from the Megalithic Portal Online Shop £25 with FREE* UK shipping.
