'What a silly little girl,' the nurse had said. 'It's only the... stone.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding stones, stone circles, tumps, barrows and ancient clearings still remain across the British Isles, and though their specific significance may be obscured by the passing of time, their strange allure and mysterious energy persist in our collective consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssembled here in tribute to these relics of a lost age are accounts of terrifying spirits haunting Stonehenge itself, stories of awful fates for those who impose modernity on the sacred sites and grim tales in which unwitting trespassers into the eternal rites of pagan worship find themselves part of an enduring legacy of blood. To represent the breadth of the sub-genre, authors include Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood and Rosalie Muspratt alongside lesser-known writers from the periodicals and journals of the British Library collections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46804337164446,"sku":"ADS-9780712354592","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780712354592.jpg?v=1778207333","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780712354592","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
