Angela McAllister's seven original stories follow the changing
landscape of lives on one hillside from the Stone Age to the
present day. Six thousand years ago, people first came to the
hillside and a story began. A Neolithic girl, Roman twins, a
herbalist's daughter, an orphaned bird-scarer, an archaeologist's
niece, three children without a home. Each faced their troubles on
that ancient downland. All found healing in the place that Granny
Down calls home. Wilderness, weather, history, archaeology and
folklore infuse each tale. With gorgeous illustrations of the
wildlife and surrounding landscape at different points in history,
this glorious full-colour, gift book is a celebration of the
enduring power of nature and lives well lived.
