Join award-winning author Peter Ross (Tomb with a View, Steeplechasing) in discussion about his latest book Upon A White Horse, a celebration of landscape and people – and all that is beautiful, strange, and old.The prehistoric sites of Britain and Ireland are places of wonder and wondering. Who made these structures? What did they mean to them? And what do they mean to us now? A journey from midwinter at Stonehenge to midsummer at Sycamore Gap.Along the way encountering bog bodies in Dublin, a wooden goddess in Edinburgh and a chalk giant in Dorset. These objects and structures speak of the long human story. They offer the comfort of recognition and the pleasure of mystery. There is something about ancient places that fills a hollow in our souls.Peter is interviewed by Leticia Lentini, founder of the local publisher, The Crow Emporium Press.Access InformationPlease contact the venue directly <a href="https://www.quaysidewhitby.co.uk/contact/" title="https://www.quaysidewhitby.co.uk/contact/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">via their website</a>.
