Prehistory

Yesterday’s issue of my author newsletter features a photo tour of the Rollright Stones, a group of three megalithic monuments on the border of Oxfordshire and Warwickshire, England. The site—particularly the monument known as the Whispering Knights—provides the setting for an important scene near the end of my novel, Beheld: Godiva’s Story. I took these photos while visiting the stones in 2016, and that visit directly inspired my decision to have the aforementioned scene take place there.

The most famous of the three Rollright sites is the so-called King’s Men Stone Circle, pictured here (photo copyright © 2016 by Christopher M. Cevasco). Thought to have been erected around 2500-2000 BC, it is not nearly as large or impressive as Stonehenge, but the circle nonetheless possesses a quiet, powerful beauty.
