If you don't mind me asking?'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI say that we are taking this stone to Trondheim. I continue to tell her the story of Magnus and ancient Kings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Would you like to stand in it?' I ask. 'That is what it is for.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the age of twenty-six, Beatrice Searle crossed the North sea and walked 500 miles through Southern Norway on a medieval pilgrim path to Nidaros Cathedral, taking with her a 40-kilo stone from the West coast of Orkney.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe had recently completed her masonry training at Lincoln Cathedral and become fascinated with the mysterious footprint stones of Scandinavia, Northern Europe and the ancient Greco-Roman world; stones closely associated with travellers, saints and the inauguration of Kings. Following in their footsteps, her stone becomes a talisman of sorts, a bedrock on the move, and an offering to those she meets along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStone Will Answer is an unusual adventure story of resilience and homecoming, of weight and motion, of rediscovering love and faith, and of journeys practical, spiritual and geological. A captivating blend of exploration, memoir and myth, and an insight into a beguiling craft, it asks what lessons might be learned from stone, what we choose to carry with us and what we return to put down or pick up again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49841341989112,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":45.37,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781787302556-1.jpg?v=1783742735","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781787302556","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
