This review is from: The Stones Remain (Hardcover)

I originally bought this book because of the author, Kevin Crossley-Holland, who is a respected expert on, and storyteller about, early British and Norse history. I wasn't disappointed - his text is a personal view of megalithic Britain which encompasses old and modern references to these enigmatic stone monuments. He doesn't tell the reader what to think, but offers a great deal of information and inspiration, including poetry and his own insight, to help broaden one's own interest. The artistic power of the photographer, Andrew Rafferty, is evident in the black and white illustrations of the stones. The pictures vary from grainy to stark, moody to powerful, structural to pattern-like. Each and every one is worthy to be framed. The combined work of these two men is inspired and I love it. History's now and alive!
