Back in 1215, when King John was forced to issue Magna Carta, it was regarded as little more than a stalling tactic in the bloody conflict between monarch and barons.\u003cbr\u003eIn Magna Carta: The Places that Shaped the Great Charter, Derek J. Taylor embarks on a mission to uncover the 'golden thread of truth' that runs through the story of the Great Charter, travelling to the palaces and villages of medieval England, through the castles and towns of France and the Middle East, to the United States of the twenty-first century. The real history of Magna Carta is far more engaging, exciting and surprising than any simple fairy tale of good defeating evil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Derek Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0750994754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780750994750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 1.40d","brand":"Derek Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944392163583,"sku":"9780750994750","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bc89b9e1-92a6-4471-a8ba-73c2effe818d.jpg?v=1681503356","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/magna-carta-derek-taylor-9780750994750","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
