This book discusses the mystery behind Stonehenge and how the stones called lintels, actually arrived at the site. The stones were alternately tongued and grooved to easy attach to its neighboring stone. This method was copied from the Woodhenge site. The stones were moved from place to place by being slid by a team of at least ten men on rollers to a pre-dug hole with three straight sides and a fourth side that was sloped and lined with wood. This book would be great to have in a collection because most people do not get to see an impressive architectural feature such as this in their lifetime. This book would be a great way to visit and learn about Stonehenge. There are vivid pictures to emphasis its historical significance.
