A NEW book about Stonehenge - telling the complete history of the ancient monument - will be launched at Salisbury Museum on Tuesday.
Stonehenge: The Story so Far has been written by the established author, archaeologist and broadcaster, Julian Richards, and published by English Heritage.
The book includes many images of Stonehenge, some of which have never been seen before.
To celebrate the book launch, Julian will give a free lecture about Stonehenge and the new publication. He will give the audience a fresh and very personal look at his favourite ancient monument.
In the new book, Julian outlines the history of Stonehenge from magic and Merlin to the diggers of the 19th century.
It then focuses on the collapse and restoration of the 20th century, changing ownership and conflict, botched excavations and the triumph of science in unlocking some of the stones' most closely guarded secrets.
