Review
Conde Nast Traveller 'excellent...an important and deeply satisfying book.' The Independent - 'a lucid and sophisticated history explaining how the meaning of Stonehenge is in perpetual flux.'Sunday Times - 'Her book is a treasure: stylish, thoughtful, miraculously condensed, and as full of knowledge as a megalith is full of megalith.' TLS - '...brings genuine originality to the cultural history of Stonehenge.'

5.0 out of 5 stars The PERFECT Christmas gift, 11 Dec 2008
By Lucy Sisman "Lucy S" (New York) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Look no further - this is it. 'Stonehenge' is the perfect Christmas gift. It's brilliantly written, incredibly interesting (Stonehenge took 70 generations to build!?!), the book appeals to all ages, it's not too long, not too big, not expensive, besides we all feel passionate about Stonehenge as it's a vital part of our heritage. Don't forget to buy a copy of this wonderful book for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Summer Solstice, 5 April 2009
By Jill Chisholm - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
From Mrs E Cumming

Rosemary Hill does so well in "Stonehenge" to combine erudition with all the acadmic dryness taken out of it somehow... there must be the most intense research, not a reference missed from earliest in 937 to the present, and this takes us through all sorts of literature, art, history, cultural periods, it is really compelling and makes me determined to visit Stonehenge properly with all this information bringing the whole thing into bright light instead of just staring and being overawed in an ignorant greyness..
I like the way she starts by declaring that the book supports none of the theories! Then throws out so many that you wonder how she managed to stay objective herself.

And there are bits of humour, like Dr. Johnson being so dismissive... "there is neither art nor power in it" and he wouldn't want to see any more such, thank you very much... and what about Aubrey and friend having dinner on top of one of the trilithons !
And the connections with the architecture of Bath, Piccadilly Circus and even Milton Keynes...
