Fascinating - Rated A fascinating look at the history of this amazingly long-lived artifact, which has come near to destruction or loss on several occasion at the hands of French Calvinists, revolutionaries, Napoleon and the SS. The book also explores the many attempts at reproductions of the work, or other works in different media inspired by the original. It explores the origins of the work and is inconclusive on who commissioned it, though the author makes a good case for Edith, widow of Edward the Confessor. Will interest those into Medieval history and art history alike. Storytelling at its best - Rated I've just finished this book whilst suffering from a bad cold and I can honestly say that it was the best tonic I could have laid my hands on! The author explores an intriguing subject, which she presents to the reader in a refreshingly approachable manner. Charting the adventures of this enduring tapestry through the ages, one wonders how it ever survived at all. I couldn't put it down!
