Description du produit

‘A magnificent piece of popular history. ... This is a book to read, reread, then read again to your children.’ (Nicholas Fearn, Independent on Sunday )

‘Beautifully touching ... To write a book that makes the reader sit in a trance, lost in his passionate desire to pack a suitcase and go to the fabulous place - that, in the end, is something one would give a sack of nutmeg for.’ (Philip Hensher, The Spectator )

‘Giles Milton tells his adventurous and sometimes grisly tale with relish ... The thoroughness and intelligence of his research underpins the lively confidence with which he deploys it.’ (John Spurling, Times Literary Supplement )

‘A truly gripping tale... His research is impeccable... Once embarked upon the journey of the book, one is loath, sometimes unable... to turn back and abandon it.’ (Martin Booth, The Sunday Times )

'Milton has a terrific eye for the kind of detail that can bring the past vividly to life' (The Spectator )
