In July 2005, Robert Macfarlane and Roger Deakin travelled to explore the holloways of South Dorset's sandstone. They found their way into a landscape of shadows, spectres and great strangeness. Six years later, after Deakin's early death, Macfarlane returned to the holloway with the artist Stanley Donwood and writer Dan Richards. This book is about those journeys and that landscape.

This is a rather nice accompaniment to Geoffrey Household's Rogue Male, a poetic journey through the Dorset countryside in search of the ancient hollow path of Household's novel. Beautiful, ghostly, surreal. Lovely.

Tiny and hauntingy pretty. A lovely thing to read, a lovely thing to hold and look at.

A void.”
