Editorial Notations

When I first started reading "The Wisdom of Stones" I had that feeling that here was no ordinary story. Greg Matthews has interwoven a great many themes into this work, and has done an excellent job of it. As we shall see in the extract of the introductory chapter referenced below, perhaps the most fundamental thread is the weaving of the Dreamtime Lore of the Australian aboriginal peoples. However, we soon find that Greg Matthews is more ambitious, and the freeflowing writing style soon leads away to bring other threads of culture and of human vision and the nature of the human spirit.

To my way of interpretation these threads include:

I found this book to be both instructive and entertaining, and would recommend that the author presents a rich gathering of issues for his readers - issues which when taken separately are of great importance and interest - and when fashioned together by insightful literary crafting into the story - The Wisdom of Stones reflects and engenders the nature of a fine appreciation of life.
