Synopsis

*'A treasure of a book' - The New Yorker*

Now with an exclusive new introduction from the author, Ken Follett, who will donate all royalties to the charity La Fondation du Patrimoine.**

'Two days after Notre-Dame burned, I flew to Paris to appear on the TV programme La Grande Librairie for a discussion about cathedrals. The following morning I had breakfast at the Hotel Bristol with my French publisher, and she asked me to write a short book about Notre-Dame and what it means to all of us. She said she would donate the publisher's profits to the rebuilding fund and, if I wished, I could do the same with my royalties. Yes, I said; of course, I'd love to.' - Ken Follett

Originally written in aid of the crucial restoration work to restore Paris's great cathedral, Notre-Dame: A Short History of the Meaning of Cathedrals is a moving, short piece of non-fiction celebrating the stunning history of this beloved building from Ken Follett, author of the multi-million-copy-selling Kingsbridge series.

*Praise for Notre-Dame*:

'Fans of Follett and cathedrals alike will enjoy his exploration of the great Parisian edifice - and will want more' - Kirkus Reviews

'A must-read' - Publishers Weekly

'Simply masterful . . . a great pleasure to read' - *Catholic Library World***
