<< Books/Products >> Out Now: Brittany Stone Stories by Wendy Mewes

A quick look at this fascinating and newly released book. It's packed with Breton culture, history and legends, always encouraging us to explore far beyond what the author describes as the the somewhat 'bland' main Carnac sites. There are not just standing stones - hugely impressive though some of these are, Brittany Stone Stories covers natural ravines and piles of stone (literally chaos!), rocking and ringing stones with so much life you almost have to hold them down.

There are tales of miraculous crossings in stone boats, the odd castle ruin, holy wells and sacred springs (fountaines). As with many books of this type there is folklore aplenty, the Christianisation of stones (of course). Also sacrificial stones, a few modern grave stones and memorials and not forgetting those lost sites which are sadly so common in our sphere of study.

Brittany Stone Stories by Wendy Mewes - order from you local bookshop, Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com.

The image seems to have broken for this. If I open the image in a new tab it works but not in the page.

I was fortunate enough to visit Carnar before it was fenced in, right at the end of the 80s. I loved it! My Dad kept telling me it was built by Obelix or aliens ...

Already read the old stones, fascinating.
Been visiting Brittany 3/4 times a year since 1989, when Carnac was unfenced. It now resembles a redundant airfield! Not at all picturesque.
Going to Chateauneuf du Faou in July for the FestJazz.
Would love to take this book

    Can you explain what you mean by a redundant airfield? I visited in 2008.
