Review
'This is the most inspiring book and answers many of the questions that we all want to know. It is also highly entertaining and well illustrated. It explores almost every aspect of our past and brings out the kind of detail that transports us back... This examination of people in former times is so exhilarating that many will want to rush off to these museums and other places without delay.' HERITAGE FOCUS magazine 'Book of the Year' -Jan 04
