Synopsis
Politics, paganism and .... Vlad the Impaler. Selected stories from CJ Stone from 2003 to the present. Meet Ivor Coles, a British Tommy killed in action in September 1915, lost, and then found again. Visit Mothers Club in Erdington, the best psychedelic music club in the UK in the '60s. Celebrate Robin Hood's Day and find out what a huckle duckle is. Travel to Stonehenge at the Summer Solstice and carouse with the hippies. Find out what a Ranter is, and why CJ Stone thinks that he's one. Take LSD with Dr Lilly, the psychedelic scientist. Meet a headless soldier or the ghost of Elvis Presley in Gabalfa, Cardiff. Journey to Whitstable, to New York, to Malta and to Transylvania, and to many other places, real and imagined, political and spiritual, transcendent and mundane. As The Independent says, Chris is "The best guide to the underground since Charon ferried dead souls across the Styx."

Soft cover. Condition: New. New. May be (ever so slightly) marked and discoloured due to age. Collected columns and articles from The Whitstable Gazette, The Whitstable Times, Prediction, Kindred Spirit, The Independent, The Big Issue, Kent Life and other disparate sources. With a Foreword by John Higgs. 'He has a knack for telling you things you need to know before you're aware that you need to know them. He sees the archetypal in the mundane. He captures moments which should be washed away by the passing of time, and hammers them into permanence.' John Higgs, author. 'Chris Stone is a modern shaman?revealing truths present and past, but not by invoking well-worn myths or personages, but simply by penning his own life and, as in the case of Private Ivor Coles, chanting life into a person just shy of being forgotten.' Mike Fay, War Correspondent and Artist. 'Christopher Stone is the modern equivalent of a wandering bard? His taste for taverns, and the holy-fool innocence with which he reacts to so much of what he encounters, adds to the comparison.' Professor Ronald Hutton, Bristol University. 'It is rare to find such a consistent talent, and rarer still to find yourself restored to awe through reading alone.' Tania Ahsan, Kindred Spirit. 'Chris Stone is always looking for the hidden depth that is the truth of the telling, and is a testament to what he truly is: a truth seeker.' King Arthur Uther Pendragon, eco-warrior.
