Description
'In this folksy, magnetic tale, two outsiders seek healing and enlightenment by creating crop formations in a Wiltshire field ... A memorable hymn to beauty' OBSERVER
'The pleasures of this bountiful novel are like a glass of cool water on a parched summer day' THE TIMES
England, 1989. Over the course of a burning hot summer, two very different men – traumatized Falklands veteran Calvert, and affable, chaotic Redbone – set out nightly in a clapped-out camper van to undertake an extraordinary project.
Under cover of darkness, the two men traverse the fields of rural England in secret, forming crop circles in elaborate and mysterious patterns. As the summer wears on, and their designs grow ever more ambitious, the two men find that their work has become a cult international sensation – and that an unlikely and beautiful friendship has taken root as the wheat ripens from green to gold.

Reviews
-
A book is shot through with a romantic, even mystical radicalism of the kind that William Blake would have approved of.
DAILY TELEGRAPH
-
The same visceral, iconoclastic thrill I got from Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem ... A study in male friendship and British identity, and a warm, rollicking, heart-expanding read. You'll never forget the time you spend in the company of Calvert and Redbone
