This set brings together three books by archaeologist Professor Alice Roberts: Ancestors, Buried and Crypt, the final book in her trilogy.
The Plot
In this collection, readers will uncover:
- Prehistory of Britain: In Ancestors, Roberts uses seven burial sites and new advances in genetics, including the analysis of ancient DNA, to explore what we can learn about the earliest Britons and their forgotten journeys and migrations.
- Buried and Crypt: Two further books from the same author, completing the trilogy that ends with Crypt.
Themes
This collection weaves together themes of identity, resilience, and the enduring human spirit. It encourages readers to reflect on how history shapes our present and future, prompting questions about legacy and continuity.
Writing Style
Alice Roberts' writing is characterised by its clarity and vivid imagery, making complex historical concepts accessible to a broad audience. Her ability to blend scholarly research with engaging narratives invites both history enthusiasts and casual readers to immerse themselves in the past.
“This is a terrific, timely and transporting book - taking us heart, body and mind beyond history, to the fascinating truth of the prehistoric past and the present” – Bettany Hughes, on Ancestors
