It conveys the delight that lies in tracking them down, as well as the solace these ancient places offer in times of darkness.<br \/>\nA few months after discovering that her beloved husband, Stephen, had incurable cancer, Fiona Robertson began to write this book. 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, the 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.<br \/>\nThis enthralling memoir is woven delicately around great grief but is ultimately about embracing life, joy and ancient wonder &#8211; a luminous reminder of what it means to exist on this earth.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/u><br \/>\nFiona Robertson is a writer, editor and committed megalith enthusiast who drags her family all over the country in search of standing stones. She is passionate about archaeology, history and folklore, and in a former life as a publishing industry professional enjoyed building a list exploring these topics. Her megalith-focused commissions include THE OLD STONES by The Megalithic Portal, which won the CURRENT ARCHAEOLOGY Book of the Year award.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Event starts at 7pm but doors will be open prior to this if you wish to arrive early and order food\/drinks<br \/>\nBooks will not be signed when collected but can be signed by Fiona at the end of the event so you have a chance to meet and take a photo if preferred<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"eventDetails margin-top-1\"><\/div>\n<p>Tickets available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketsource.co.uk\/archway-bookshop\/t-qjloqxp\">here<\/a> or can be purchased in the shop[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;110318&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Put a bookshop together with a great cafe and you have something rather special.
