Product Information

I'm a big fan of the Ruth Galloway books, and this book provides a beautifully photographed and evocative visual guide to the landscape of Norfolk which features so strongly in the series. Are they the remains of a local girl who disappeared ten years earlier – or are the bones much older?

We were crossing Titchwell Marsh in North Norfolk when Andy (an archaeologist) mentioned that prehistoric people thought that marshland was sacred ground. Griffiths also talks about her family and how they influenced her writing, especially her Aunt Marjorie. In the meantime, when I read the Ruth Galloway series again, this beautiful book will be by my side!uk will use the information you provide on this form to be in touch with you and to provide updates and marketing.

Ruth is in London clearing out her mother’s belongings when she makes a surprising discovery: a photograph of her Norfolk cottage taken before Ruth lived there.
