I enjoyed
Callanish, but
The Stonor Eagles is a much more ambitious book. While
The Stonor Eagles does have some of the anthropomorphic aspect of
Callanish and
Duncton Wood, it is really a story about an artist (James Stonor) and his influences. It switches back and forth between different parts of the artist's life and the story (legend) of the eagles themselves, each part feeding back on the other. It's very hard to explain, but it is very well done.
