Paperback. Condition: Very Good. C.J. Stone's book is a poignant, elegiac, and very funny search for what's left of the hippies. It's hard to know where the hippie movement begins. It's even harder to know where it ends. There were hippies long before they were ever called hippies, and there were hippies long after the hippie movement was dead. It's a generic term that means vaguely fluffyand idealistic with a cosmic turn of phrase. It means naive and optimistic and hopeless with money. It refers to middle-aged pot-fiends who've reached the age of fifty without ever havinggone out to work. The hippie era was a wild, a visionary, a revolutionary time. Especially as you could claim Social Security while you were at it.C.J. Stone first saw Timothy Leary on TV in his living room in South Yardley, Birmingham, when he was sixteen years old. He was impressed. Timothy Leary had probably never heard of Birmingham, let alone South Yardley, let alone set out to make his views known to a sixteen year old delivery boy; and yet here he was, in the author's living room, telling him to 'turn on, tune in and drop out.' That's when the author became converted. He'd already turned the telly on andtuned it in. Now all he needed to do was find the drop-out button.The Last of the Hippies is about a generation of souls looking for the drop-out button. Part autobiography, part history, part travelogue, it recounts the author's adventures in that marginal realm: the mythical hippie's heavenly playground. Where LSD is the drug of choice, whereevolution is the pastime, where revolution is the rhetoric, and paganism is a religion. It's a carnival of madness. Join it at your peril.

To acquire a countersignature from the co-author, please find Arthur. Usually located at Stonehenge, dawn, equinoxes and solstices.

'Am I alone in thrilling to this noble throwback to the age of Celtic romance? Our Prime Minister is a grinning charmless twerp; our Archbishop of Canterbury has a much spiritual charisma as a raw potato; and the House of Windsor is dullsville. I'd dump the whole pack of them tomorrow and replace them with a single Royal, Spiritual and Political leader—King Arthur.' AN Wilson, Evening Standard. 'This is a book about heroism, patriotism, liberty, poetry, martyrdom, history, mythology, personal self-fashioning and other unforeseen consequences of enjoying cider, cigarettes and laughs with a bunch of mates.' Professor Ronald Hutton, Bristol University. 'It if fair to say that this book is unlike any other that I have read and that alone is a good enough reason to give it a try.' Elizabeth A.Wright, The Daily Opinion 'This is an important slice of counter-cultural history and describes how an inspired and magical approach to protest can affect real social change.' Julian Vayne, The Blog of Baphomet. Signed by Author(s). …

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.
