Reader Reviews
I have always been confused about Stonehenge. Was some ancient monument recently adopted by pot smoking greenies? What about all those stories linking it with Merlin, the Romans, devilry and druids? Here, despite the many claims we will never be sure about its past, Aubrey Burl provides a large number of objective, rather than mythical or speculative answers. Rooted in historical and archaeological fact, this brief work becomes a text book of Stonehenge, exposing myths, confirming facts. Burl's genius is that it does not read like a text book. He injects himself, his opinions and emotions into his writing, while maintaining significant objectivity at the same time. True, it is technical in parts, which means this is not a novel or a piece of light entertainment. But the effort is well worth discovering the truth of what we factually know and can reliably reconstruct about this ancient monument. If you were wondering about the truth behind the stories, this is about as close as it comes.
