Stone Lands

'There's a real sense of peace and magic in this beautiful book - it's filled with stories and ideas about loss and reconnection through our ancient landscapes that will help us all to heal.' * Daisy Buchanan * 'An extremely relatable memoir, densely packed with the author's first-hand experiences as a committed ""stone hunter"". As well as an inspiring tour of the megalithic landscapes of these isles, Stone Lands is a human journey into grief, hope and love. It's a fantastic book for weird walkers and megalith-obsessives alike.' * Weird Walk * 'A wonderful story of grief, self-discovery, hope and reconnection to our ancient past and landscapes, in which Fiona Robertson takes us on her own deeply personal journey and by doing so, shows us the power of looking back in order to move forward.' * Ben Edge * '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.' * Prof. Josh Pollard * 'An utterly endearing account of seeking the ancient wonders of the prehistoric stone sites of Britain, told against the backdrop of such poignant personal heartache. Stone Lands brims with the intrigue and delight of the modern antiquarian who journeys to the sacred spaces of these isles to connect with the ways of our ancestors.' * Dr James Canton * 'A wonderful and moving book: part personal memoir and part tribute to the megaliths in our midst which - in strange and subtle ways - still have so much wisdom to impart.' * Oliver Smith *
