Product Description
"Stone Circles" looks at the quirkier aspects of the subject, not just the names and dates and places, but all the interesting (and spooky) bits other history books don't tell you. Surrounded by legend and fascinating folklore, find out: Why can't the stones in a circle ever be counted? Why are so many stone circles associated with dancing? Which stones move around when no-one is looking? And read stories of magic and mystery such as: circles that are believed to be groups of people who have been turned into stone, including Tregeseal East, The Hurlers and Long Meg; spooky lights appearing over circles, for which Castlerigg has a famous store of just such a phenomenon; and stones that wander around at night like the lazy Diamond stone at Avebury that goes for a gentle walk across the road and back or the energetic Long Stone at Minchinhampton that takes a nightly run.
