Book Review of The Lady and the Unicorn

The Lady and the Unicorn
reviewed Nicely realized on + 25 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 3


Chevalier has a lovely way of using a work of art as a jumping-off point for her fiction. This time it's the Medieval Tapestry of "The Lady and the Unicorn". Although this book is in no way comparable to "The Girl with the Pearl Earring", Chevalier has done a wonderful job of imagining the world of the Tapestry guild and the noble family that might have commissioned this work of art. A very nicely realized time-piece with interesting, believable characters.
