Publisher's Synopsis
This is Volume 2 of Wessex Tales, 'Eight thousand years in the life of an English village.' Travel Stone Age woods, the Blackmore Vale, and ramparts of Iron Age hill forts defended by slingers with fist-sized stones. Dorset's land is magical, mystical, down-to-earth. Our characters toil, poach game, reap crops, and venture as soldiers, carters and smugglers. Life perseveres, from the Stone Age to the stresses of the First World War.
