Stone Child

 

Walk around London, and you cannot fail to notice its statues. They are everywhere. It's a great place for history. So, have you ever thought what you would do if a statue came to life in front of you? The novel, Stone Child, explores how stone and bronze alter on a molecular level as the statues come to life. In an act, which perhaps shows there is existence after death, the great men and women of the past make an unprecedented approach to warn us of the end of the world, and that we must take immediate action. What would we do? Would we listen to them?

 

Here are some photos of statues that appear in Stone Child. Can you name them or anything about them? If you click on the image, it will take you to the answer and some other links about the characters.
