This is a fascinating book. It is full of interesting info on shepherds on stilts, people with deliberately contorted heads, hobbitt like folk etc. They all lived in a seemingly hidden France unrecognisable from our perceived view which I guess is typically the court of Versailles and bloody revolutions on the streets. I loved it even though he does bang on about map making and cyclists more than I cared for. 9/10
