Ghostways: Two Journeys in Unquiet Places by Stanley Donwood, Dan Richards, Robert Macfarlane

3.0

Ghostways offers a look into two mysterious environments and describes them through beautiful poetic language. I really enjoyed learning about Orford Ness and the Holloways of South Dorset. Stanley Donwood's illustrations add another layer of meaning to the text. Though the writing is beautiful, I can't help but think it feels a little pretentious. This book is short – could probably read through in an hour – but it seems like it will offer value for multiple reads. My favorite chapter was Drift. My favorite part of the book was the second half about the holloways.
