Review:
''The Secret Country by Janet and Colin Bord is a fascinating exploration of the ancient and mysterious sites of the British Isles. The authors delve into the enigmas surrounding standing stones, stone circles, henges, hillforts, burial mounds, and other prehistoric monuments that continue to defy modern logic. Through a rich tapestry of folklore, legend, and 'race memory,' the Bords uncover connections to fertility stones, restless stones, hauntings, secret passages, dragons, monsters, witches, giants, fairies, and even UFOs. Their research is thorough, and they present startling theories about earth currents, terrestrial energy, ley lines, and prehistoric technology. The Western Daily Express praised it as 'a first-class collection of folklore and traditions connected with ancient and prehistoric sites in the British Isles,' while the Sunday Telegraph called it a 'handsomely illustrated survey.' The Times described it as 'a highly readable guide...unrivalled' for anyone interested in this uncharted field. Illustrated throughout, this book is an essential read for enthusiasts of archaeology, folklore, and the paranormal.''
