RaveThe Scotsman...a magical, mesmerising book – a book which makes you feel giddy at the thought of the deep gulf of history hidden just beneath your feet ... To describe Time Song as a non-fiction book about the history of Doggerland makes it sound dry and academic, but Julia Blackburn’s approach is anything but. At one point, she describes her modus operandi as \'trying to learn prehistory hand to mouth as I go along\' and that’s a more-or-less accurate description of what it feels like to read her writing ... Blackburn’s book is studded with...imaginative leaps, grounded in science yet evocatively described.
