The Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland, and Brittany by Aubrey Burl

The stone circles of Western Europe have intrigued spectators through the ages. This book traces the ancestry, methods of construction and the eventual desertion of these megalithic rings. Revised and updated, it features new interpretations of Stonehenge and Callanish in Scotland.

"An informed, informative, and well-balanced survey of the facts, fictions, and problems of our stone circles" Glyn Daniel, The Guardian "Burl's authoritative book is indispensable for anyone pursuing this tantalising enigma." Publishers' Weekly "A magnificent book thorough, lucid, scholarly, and at times poetic...A landmark book." Alan J. Friedman, San Francisco Review of Books "An admirable balance of scholarship and literary skill." New Yorker
