If you have yet to discover the writer Peter Ross you are in for a real treat.
Peter Ross is an awarding winning journalist and author based in Glasgow. He has written for The Guardian, Sunday Times and The Times among others and is an Orwell journalism fellow.
Among his five books are three I’m pretty sure Radnor Street Cemetery followers would enjoy. His latest, published this year, is Upon a White Horse – Journeys in Ancient Britain and Ireland.
As you might imagine, given the historic nature of our neck of the woods, he covers Wiltshire in some detail – Stonehenge, Avebury, Wayland’s Smithy, Kennet Long Barrow and those two iconic chalk figures the Uffington White Horse and the Cerne Abbas Giant – even Swindon band XTC gets a mention.
Peter travels the length and breadth of the British Isles from Cornwall to Orkney, taking in Dublin, Pembrokeshire and Anglesey en route and paying a moving yet optimistic visit to the site of the Sycamore Gap.
The writing is lyrical, the descriptions evocative – Upon a White Horse is a joy to read. But don’t just take my word for it.
Available from Bert’s Books https://bertsbooks.co.uk/product/upon-a-white-horse/ and Central Library although it is on loan at the moment. Keep checking the library catalogue.
