THE HISTORY FILE
NEW WORDS
TO THE READER
The Mystery of the Stones takes place in Britain over 4,000 years ago. We don’t know much about that time because Britons couldn’t read or write. But we can wonder at their monuments, like the mighty Stonehenge, and a few long-lasting artefacts that have also survived. To write a story set in prehistoric times, therefore, I had to make up the characters and use my imagination to fill the gaps in our understanding.
