The dramatic sweep of THE ANCIENT OF DAYS brings to life the story of mankind on the cusp of civilization, and how one man, Ronstrom the Builder, made it happen. It's a story of magic, miracles, violence and passion; of self-sacrifice and challenge.
It's the story of how we became human with the ability to love and build, to leave our mark, so those who followed would know the miracle of Stonehenge, and what it means.
Irving A. Greenfield is the highly acclaimed author of over 300 novels, including TAGGET, the basis for the movie starring Daniel J. Travanti.
ANCIENT OF DAYS swept to prominence with favorable comparisons to Sir Arthur C. Clarke's 2001 A Space Odyssey, and some critics have said it blazed the trail for Jean M. Auel's phenomenon Clan of the Cave Bear.
Greenfield's latest work is SNOW GIANTS DANCING.

I have read this book a few times through the years and it is always a fantastic read. It's a truly remarkable story about a step in the evolution of man and his relationship to himself, other mankind and God. Ronstrom the Hunter is lead by God to bring his people together and make them more than man has ever been before. The building of a monument brings the people together, while vividly illustrating the gap between prophets and visionaries and ordinary men. The writing style is simple, but very powerful. I can not recommend this book enough for anyone interested in the evolution of tribe mentality and myths of the origins of ancient monoliths.**Note - whoever scanned this book into e-reader format used horrible OCR software, so the editing is off. But please do not let this deter you from reading this incredible book.

Ancient of Days The Chronicles of Ronstrom the Builder edition by Irving A Greenfield Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
When Ronstrom the Hunter is confronted by a strange old man in the woods after a hunt, he is faced with a decision that will determine not only the course of his entire future, but also lead to a pivotal moment in the history of mankind. From then on Ronstrom embarks on a journey to lead his people out of an era of hunger and death, and into one of community and fulfillment, following the commands handed down to him by the enigmatic Giver of Life.
Ancient of Days is not only a creative re-envisioning of a significant historical event, but also a story about the ways humans connect with and understand each other. It’s a look into the merits and drawbacks of our primal instincts, and an absorbing glimpse of a culture wholly removed from our own. I have read few books that encompass the scope of an individual’s inner life quite like Ancient of Days, which does so while also maintaining its focus on the capabilities of human spirit.
With fascinating parallels to Biblical stories like those of Moses and Jesus, and a plot that always leaves room for surprises, Ancient of Days is also a well crafted book—making use of realistic linguistic patterns and believable character development to lead its readers towards unique and beautiful insights into the ways humans understand both the world and ourselves.
Long ago when man was just beginning to find his place in a strange world, Ronstrum The Hunter was strong and swift in finding food, while others lamented their lack, failing even to capture the squirrels, rabbits...and rats that were even growing more scarce. Ronstrum had been tracking a bear this time and while he was deciding when to attack, the bear took notice of him--but also of another nearby...
Ronstrum's nose centered in on what animal might also be nearby, but soon narrowed it down to man. Then he saw him, an old man whose stink carried across the winds. Ronstrum would use him as bait!
And as quickly as he had killed the bear, the old man claimed a part of that bear! Ronstrum learned that he was a priest for The Giver of Life, although Ronstrum did not know what that meant... Still he was not interested in sharing the meat with the priest--he was like the other old man who complained, but did nothing to help himself. Still, when the old man bowed his head in prayer, Ronstrum wanted to know what he was doing and then relented to cook and share some of the meat...
Ronstrum, however, was not to stay only a hunter, The old man talked of the old days when food was plentiful and then told of how a wager had been made--between The Giver of Life and The Keeper of Darkness...
Later he told him many stories until Ronstrum was ready to sleep, but the old man began again, telling him of a cave--a cave where a talisman could be found. He told him that it would make him stronger, braver and wiser than all others. Yet Ronstrum asked if it would keep meat available?!
But he found more than a talisman there in that cave...
A voice spoke "Ronstrom!"
He tried to run away, but is frozen by fear...and heard
"You must gather the people to you...if they are to survive, Ronstrom, and become greater than they once were, they must follow you...tell them that you spoke to The Giver of Life; tell them that, Ronstrom."
Then The Giver of Life told him that he was to build what he saw...
But Ronstrom exclaimed that he was not a building--he was a hunter! Then foolishly asked for a sign...
Ronstrom was in darkness when he was picked up from the floor and flung into the tunnel, then tumbling toward the entrance...
He had been given his sign.
This is the story of how Ronstrum became a builder. It was not something that he wanted or felt he was qualified to do. And there were those who would fight against what he had been told to do, with many battles and deaths. But he works on, until we finally acknowledges..."I am Ronstrom, the Builder.."
Have you ever wondered what had happened before the birth of Christ, long before there were towns, buildings, roads, etc. This epic novel may just answer those questions of how and who was that first builder on earth....If it didn't happen the way Irving A Greenfield has shared, it's the best story that I've read to explain it! Highly recommended for those wondering about the true ancient days of man... Believable, Realistic, and enjoyable!

I enjoyed this book. It captured a part of mankind's story in a creative and fascinating way. While not historical it is surely probable and at the very least reveals how things happened at least as far as the main evolution occurred
Well written. The characters and storyline are well developed. I would makes pun and say for druids only but I think most people would get some enjoyment out of this story. This was my second reading, my first was when it actually came out in the '70s. As enjoyable now as it was then.
This is essentially prehistoric fiction. Written from the point of view of an ancient fictional leader. It's thought provoking, loosely historically correct but characters and their situations are purely fiction. A good read; entertaining as long as you don't take it too seriously.
I have read this book a few times through the years and it is always a fantastic read. It's a truly remarkable story about a step in the evolution of man and his relationship to himself, other mankind and God. Ronstrom the Hunter is lead by God to bring his people together and make them more than man has ever been before. The building of a monument brings the people together, while vividly illustrating the gap between prophets and visionaries and ordinary men. The writing style is simple, but very powerful. I can not recommend this book enough for anyone interested in the evolution of tribe mentality and myths of the origins of ancient monoliths.
