Published in 2020, A Heap of Stones recounts the story of Batignano opera festival and how it came about. It traces the life of its founder, Adam Pollock, from stage-struck wartime child to fashionable designer in swinging sixties London, and then recounts his 'dropping out' to find a new life in Italy in a derelict building: the 'heap of stones' that would launch so much young talent in the opera world. 

A Heap of Stones is available to purchase from Foyles and Waterstones
