Perfect Golden Circle, The
Myers, Benjamin
Remember the mystery of crop circles? Well, look no further ... the unexpected antics of Calvert, a Falklands War veteran and Redbone, a punk musician, offer a possible explanation.
Set in the long, hot summer of 1989, this is the tale of two unlikely friends hellbent on creating beauty in Wiltshire fields.
From the camaraderie of eccentric outsiders, to the wonders of the English countryside, this is a compelling story of the quest for the perfect golden circle, the challenge of keeping one’s demons at bay, and the joys of guerrilla art.
