The book aims to explore the rich tapestry of English prehistory through various archaeological, linguistic, and folkloric lenses, attempting to piece together the remnants of ancient cultures and beliefs that have shaped modern England. At the start of this work, the author outlines the ambitious approach he takes to relate disparate pieces of evidence from different fields such as history, folklore, and linguistics, illustrating how they can collectively contribute to a more profound understanding of England’s prehistorical heritage. He reflects on the ongoing struggle of historians and archaeologists to reconstruct the past and the caution needed in interpreting traditions and artifacts from ancient times without losing sight of the evidence that supports or contradicts current theories. Bayley critiques previous scholarly works while emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary perspective in reviving the narratives of the people who existed before written history began.
