Ghostways: Two Journeys in Unquiet Places

by Robert McFarlane Author, Stanley Donwood Author and Dan Richards Author

With prose that quite poetic, these reflections and essays on two different corners of England explore the notion of a “hollowed way” — that is a path that’s been used by riders and travelers for so many centuries that it’s very nature has been shifted down to the bedrock and a permanent path perdures. Inside, the reader will find many themes that juxtapose themselves — the very notion of contrast of dualities central to many of them. Two journeys by three writers explore the crossroads and fork of where nature, human tradition and folklore, and modern world and bureaucracy uncannily intersect — a modern myth that reads like an old poem that will eventually lead the reader to a shingle spit where the British government used to conduct secret weapons tests.
