Denis Dunstone – författare

In the rolling hills along the shores of the English Channel, where William the Conqueror once forged an empire, Denis Dunstone returns with a breathtaking sequel to A Church Near You.1066 Churches invites you to discover the medieval Romanesque churches that dot Normandy and England, stone testaments to the faith and ambition of a Christian king and its people.Each page bursts with luminous watercolours, capturing the Romanesque and Gothic styles making these sanctuaries stand across centuries.Conceived as the perfect companion for two landmark events, namely, the triumphant return of the Bayeux Tapestry to English soil for the British Museum's major 2026 exhibition, and the 2027 European celebrations marking the millennium of the birth of King William I, Denis Dunstone's richly illustrated and documented work beckons you to wander, sketchpad in hand, and step into the past.

Now, for the first time you can find out about that foreign word which has puzzled you. No one has written a book like this before. It is not a dictionary. Nor is it an etymological treatise. It is light-hearted company for the traveller, regular or occasional, whose curiosity has been aroused by the variety and diversity of the Western European languages. In a short quick style it offers some explanations. The words chosen are those, which the traveller is most likely to come across, in the train, at the airport, on the road and in hotels and restaurants. It is the perfect conversation opener on your travels. Why DO the French call an apple a pomme? "Amusing, erudite, intriguing and useful... The ideal travel companion for exploring Europe." ­—Loyd Grossman
