description: Ghostways brings two of best-selling author Robert Macfarlanes eeriest works of impressionistic nature writing to American readers for the first time. In Holloway Macfarlane and his collaborators explore the famed holloways of South Dorset a landscape of shadows and spectres in the southwestern corner of England. In Ness they create a modern myth about Orford Ness the shingle desert of southeast England for decades the United Kingdoms secret atomic weapons testing site. Featuring Stanley Donwoods spectacular etchings of woodland scenes throughout Ghostways is a beautiful and haunted work of art unlike any other.
