Total copies: 2
In her previous two books, Professor Alice Roberts has powerfully and evocatively revived people of the past through examining their burial rites, bringing a fresh perspective on how they lived. In 'Crypt', she tells the story of Britain from 1066 to the present day - by exploring changing methods of honouring the dead. Beautifully written, vividly drawn, and expertly researched, this is a brilliant and unexpected portrait of modern Britain.
