The Bayeux Tapestry: The Norman Conquest 1066

Summary: See and Understand the Tapestry in Color
Review: We appreciated the book "The Bayeux Tapestry" by Norman Denny. Photographs show the whole tapestry in color and the author explains the scenes simply as they unfold. While it is not a "read aloud" type book, ages 12 and up would appreciate reading it for themselves. We read "The Striped Ships" by Eloise McGraw at the same time as "The Bayeux Tapestry" flipping back and forth between the actual embroidered scenes and those mentioned in the novel. Children and perhaps adults will be inspired to try their hands at embroidered history too, I think. A very good book for home schoolers and anyone else who'd like to view the tapestry in faraway France.
