Description
One of Europe’s greatest treasures, The Bayeux Tapestry depicts the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Hicks invites us into this world and the miracle of the tapestry's creation: the stitches, dyes and strange details in the margins. This marvellous book, packed with thrilling stories, shows how we remake history in every age and how a great work of art has a life of its own. The perfect companion to read before viewing the tapestry on its first UK exhibition.
