Description
The British Museum alone holds eight million objects, many taken in ways that were anything but legitimate. When award-winning journalist and author Marc Fennell encounters one such item - a mechanical tiger that mauls a British soldier when you turn the handle - he asks, What is this, and how on earth did it end up here? With wit, empathy and forensic curiosity, he reveals the true stories behind some of the world’s most famous (and infamous) museum pieces - objects that reveal histories which continue to shape our world.
