The Secret Country

Janet and Colin Bord have explored the British Isles. They have photographed the sentinels of prehistory - the standing stones, stone circles, henges, hillforts and burial mounds. They have elicited from the folklore of the people 650 legends of dragons, monsters, devils, giants, ghosts, fairies and witches that relate to the mysterious monuments. And they ask... do all these silent stones, these fragments of a vanished mythology represent lost ties with earth currents - a power within our planet that can be revitalized for the benefit of man?
