The Stone Age monuments at Avebury in Wiltshire are world-famous,

attracting thousands of visitors each year. Two of the most dramatic are

the enormous burial chamber known as the West Kennet Long Barrow,

and Silbury Hill, the largest man-made mound in Europe. Less well known

is Silbury's "sister " mound at Marlborough a few miles due east, but this

is

nothing less than the legendary burial place of Merlin. These extraordinary

sites are the key locations of the novel Merlin's Mound, in which an

adolescent

is awakened in startling fashion to their meaning and original purpose. It

will

appeal to everyone from the protagonist's age upward with a taste for myth,

legend and visions.
