The Reflection in the Pond: a Moonraking Approach to History, by John Chandler

Sequel to The Day Returns (Ex Libris Press, 1998) this collection of essays and anecdotes, many published here for the first time, is designed as an entertainment for ‘Moonrakers’ (Wiltshire natives) and their friends, but also as a demonstration of the wide-ranging and sometimes surprising links between local history, in Wiltshire and beyond, and literature, music, biography, government, landscape and society. A must for anyone interested in Wiltshire or local history generally, and for all who have enjoyed John’s books, articles, and quirky contributions to magazines and local radio. Foreword by Joseph Bettey. July 2009, 210 x 148mm, x, 288pp, ills and maps, paperback, £12.95, ISBN 978-1-906978-08-2
