Description

Bestselling historian Neil Oliver travels the British Isles to explore those ‘thin places’: sites where the boundary between this world and another seems gossamer thin and stories of ghosts are told, passed from one generation to the next. Haunted himself by the death of his father, he uncovers tales of lost children, lovelorn nuns and beheaded kings on a journey that takes in castles, vicarages and towers, lonely shorelines and forgotten battlefields. From Inverness to Devon, Dublin to Norfolk, he crosses a landscape echoing with secrets, tragedy and dark deeds, probing what it is that triggers our emotions and senses in certain locations and why these ghost stories matter. .
