'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.
