Critically acclaimed archaeologist Mike Pitts, the only person to have excavated both Stonehenge and Avebury, takes his reader on a journey of discovery through the Wiltshire countryside in search of the builders of England's most famous megalithic monuments.

On the way we are introduced to such figures as the irrepressible Maud Cunnington, the shy retiring Richard Atkinson and a host of 20th Century archaeologists who have contributed to our knowledge of the henges. Pitts then brings us right up to date with the latest thinking on the henge builders and the world they lived in.

This book is worthy of all the accolades it has received. It is intelligent, witty, informative and best of all, totally unputdownable. If I could give it more than five stars out of five, I would.
