Holloway

by Robert Macfarlane, Stanley Donwood and Dan Richards - £9.99  Faber & Faber (2014)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780571310661 | ISBN 10: 0571310664

'Holloway - the hollow way. A sunken path, a deep and shady lane. A route that centuries of foot-fall, hoof-hit, wheel-roll and rain-run have harrowed into the land. A track worn down by the traffic of ages and the fretting of water, and in places reduced sixteen or eighteen feet beneath the level of the fields.'
 
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.
 
The book is about those journeys and that landscape.
