Infos

Across endless dunes, where the wind moves like a storyteller, stand statues that seem far too alive for their age. The Whispering Statues of the Sand follows the mysteries that surround these ancient figures, left behind by a civilisation no one fully understands. Some travellers claim the statues hum softly at dusk. Others insist they shift their gaze or glow beneath a rising moon. The desert keeps its secrets, yet its silence is never empty.

 

This book invites you to walk beside archaeologists, explorers, and the legends passed down by desert communities. You will encounter tales of voices carried on the wind, footprints that appear beside the statues overnight, and carvings that seem to change meaning depending on who reads them. Instead of trying to solve every mystery, the story encourages you to sit with the unknown and feel the quiet magic that lingers in forgotten places.

 

If you are drawn to soft mysteries, ancient landscapes, and the idea that some histories speak in whispers rather than facts, this journey through sand and shadow will stay with you long after the final page.

Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, Canada, on November 30, 1874. Her mother died when she was a toddler and her devastated father asked her grandparents to raise her. Her childhood years in Cavendish were very lonely. Lucy's solution at this early age was to create imaginary worlds and people them with imaginary friends. Her creativity was beginning to establish itself in her life. With her studying days over Lucy began a career as a teacher and worked at various Prince Edward Island schools. It was soon obvious to her that she did not enjoy teaching but the benefit was that it gave her time to write. That was now her real passion. Much of her early career was spent writing short stories. Indeed in the decade from 1897 magazines and newspapers published over 100 stories from the prolific young writer. In 1908, Lucy published her first book, the classic, Anne of Green Gables. It was an immediate success and quickly established her career. During her lifetime, Lucy published 20 novels, 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Aware of her fame, by 1920 Lucy began editing and recopying her journals, reframing her life as she wanted it remembered. Lucy Maud Montgomery died on April 24, 1942 in Toronto. A note was found beside her bed, "e;I have lost my mind by spells and I do not dare think what I may do in those spells. May God forgive me and I hope everyone else will forgive me even if they cannot understand. My position is too awful to endure and nobody realizes it. What an end to a life in which I tried always to do my best."e; The official cause of death was a coronary thrombosis.
