A graphic novel about the 1066 Norman Invasion as told through the Bayeux Tapestry. Although the story jumps into the middle of the saga with little introduction (although most readers do not need it), this work illustrates the history pretty well and the artwork is intricate as well as captivating. Some sections of the Bayeux Tapestry are included within the story and there are a few pages at the end that describe some history about the "tapestry" itself (perhaps having these pages in front of the story would have worked better). For history lovers who enjoy a good story in a different medium.
