[John Peel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire still possesses an unmatched series of Elizabethan tapestries and other materials. The author describes these in their context, in perhaps a little too much detail, resulting in a dry, textbook-like volume. Beautifully illustrated, but hard to read.
