      For Maisie

      From the reviews of Britain AD:

      ‘Controversial, deceptively clever and a damn good read’

       BBC History Magazine

      ‘Pryor’s opinionated (yet fairly argued) text rollicks along, informed by a great deal of recent research and new discoveries…Eminently readable’

       British Archaeology

      ‘Francis Pryor has been an eloquent advocate for a new, fascinating vision of the prehistoric past. After Seahenge and Britain BC, this book completes an exhilarating trilogy in which the received ideas of far too long are swept away’
