Stonehenge is the most famous prehistoric monument in Europe and is visited by hundreds of thousands of people every year. 'Impressively researched, full of charming anecdotes and engagingly written,' says The Daily Telegraph's Andy Letcher, 'Hill's Stonehenge deserves to become the standard introduction for professionals and amateurs.'

"'Her book is a treasure: stylish, thoughtful, miraculously condensed, and as full of knowledge as megalith is full of megalith.' - Sunday Times 'She brings genuine originality to the cultural history of Stonehenge; nobody has until now considered it as literature, poetry and art, in this comprehensive way'. - Times Literary Supplement '[A] fascinating overview.' - Time Out"
