The Book of the Bayeux Tapestry Presenting the Complete Work in a Series of Colour Facsimiles

"The Book of the Bayeux Tapestry" by Hilaire Belloc is a deep look into a very old embroidered cloth that tells the story of the Norman Conquest. It shows how life was back then, especially the big fight called the Battle of Hastings. Belloc looks closely at the art and what it all means, like who had the power and how people lived. He also makes you think about if everything in the picture is exactly how it happened, and who really made it. The story goes from promises being made to the huge battle, showing knights, fights, and how society worked a long time ago. It shows how this old artwork is not only really cool to look at but also teaches us a lot about history.
