Echoes of Britain: Stonehenge: Sun, Stone and Mystery

By Michael White and Brian Harby

Echoes of Britain: Stonehenge: Sun, Stone and Mystery explores the story of Britain's most famous prehistoric monument, from its earliest earthworks and cremation burials to the raising of the great sarsens, the long journey of the bluestones, the mystery of its alignments, and the many myths that have gathered around it.

This accessible and atmospheric history brings Stonehenge to life not as a frozen ruin, but as a monument shaped by centuries of effort, belief, memory and change. It explains what archaeology can tell us, what modern science has added, and why some questions remain stubbornly unanswered after more than four thousand years.

Inside, you will discover:

- Some of Stonehenge's stones may have been moved from Wales, over 140 miles away.
- Stonehenge may have begun as a place of burial before it became the great stone monument we know today.
- The Druids did not build Stonehenge, despite centuries of popular legend.

From the Aubrey Holes and ancient barrows to Durrington Walls, midsummer sunrise, winter sunset, Merlin, Victorian antiquarians, modern excavations and the enduring puzzle of the stones themselves, this book separates myth from evidence while keeping the wonder firmly intact.

Part history, part mystery, Echoes of Britain: Stonehenge is a vivid guide to one of the world's most extraordinary ancient places, and to the people who built, remembered, misunderstood and reimagined it across the centuries.
