TalkHistoryBooks & writers

At Institut français du Royaume-Uni.

Ken Follett has sold nearly two hundred million books, most of them about medieval building and conquest. The Evening and the Morning drew on the Bayeux Tapestry, and he takes the tapestry as a piece of storytelling in its own right - what it chooses to show, what it leaves out, and who it was made to convince. £20.00, with concessions available and £15.00 for students.
