The Stone Book Quartet

Unfortunately the library only has the first of these - Stone Book. Need to find the whole thing. The Stone Book, Granny Reardun, The Aimer Gate and Tom Fobble's Day ( )

Four stories of a family of craftsmen in rural Cheshire, from the middle of the nineteenth century to World War II. From the stonemason passing on a secret hidden deep in a cave to his daughter, to his great-grandson finding his name carved on the capstone at the top of the church steeple and beyond, the stonemasons and smiths keep the secrets of their crafts, passing them on to their successors.

Read stones, not books is the moral of this novel - suggesting filling your mind with words stops you seeing the obvious around you. ( )
