Book reviews. Silbury: Resolving the Enigma by Michael Dames


"This is a colourful, readable and fascinating personal reinterpretation of a unique monument. As a set of hypotheses it is credible, and as a piece of literature it is a joy. Michael Dames knows and loves our land itself at least as well as anybody else alive."

Professor Ronald Hutton, Bristol University.
