The Toad Stone lives in the Valley of Stones in Wiltshire (England). Before you visit, hear a little of the Toad Stone’s story.
Scroll quickly enough, and you will see the Toad Stone walk out of the Valley of Stones.

Fantastic! Beautiful presentation in that little box, too. It’s a lovely example of the graphic antiquarianism approach that Dr. H favours. Excellent mix of science and feeling – really nicely done. Any plans for distribution/publication?

Thanks! It’s been suggested that I work out a way to take it into primary schools in the villages around the Toad Stone’s landscape. I could scan the little pages and construct something more book-like; but I want to retain the flick book at the end. Happy for suggestions! Katy

Nice! Although walking backwards to do that…

Lovely – combining geological formation and antiquarian analysis into a box of delights. I think the shade of Geoffrey Grigson, whose bones lie in Wiltshire, would really like this. As do I. The moving toad is beautifully drawn too – much linear grace resides inside that earth-bound lump. Bravo.

Thanks, I’m pleased you like the combination of presentation and content. It is a kind of modern antiquarianism, collecting snippets and bits of information and bringing them together in the story – a sort of illustrated Notes and Queries about toads in archaeology and geology.
