I've just finished Portrait of an Unknown Woman by Vanora Bennett, which has a colour reproduction of Holbein's painting of Sir Thomas More's family. It makes the book so much more enjoyable to see what is described.BooksPleasehttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-3369015906885536582010-07-23T15:34:55.074+01:002010-07-23T15:34:55.074+01:00Oh, that's lovely, and I want to read the book...Oh, that's lovely, and I want to read the book now!Cornflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779286635989616330noreply@blogger.com
