Charles Boundy – the author of Ice to Athelstan which is currently selling well in the Museum shop – will talk about the Bayeux Tapestry. Hopefully, the Tapestry will be by then on display at the British Museum in London.
In June, the second of Charles’ planned English history trilogy should be published, Conquest to Charter – The Resilience of England (940 to 1272). This new book covers the period the Tapestry depicts and was created. The book will be available for signed copies at this event.
