Synopsis
Taking as her inspiration the famous "Lady and the Unicorn" tapestries (which date from the 16th century), Tracy Chevalier writes a deeply researched historical novel about their creation, going into the minds and lives of the men who designed and executed the tapestries as well as the into the events of the time.

Industry Reviews
"THE LADY AND THE UNICORN lacks the rarefied elegance and the striving after perfection of the tapestries that inspired it. Instead, without coyness, it presents a spirited tableau of a distant age."
Times Literary Supplement - Matthew Dennison (10/03/2003)
"A delightful historical....Marvelously imagined and sharply constructed, with a good feel for the people and the era...."
Kirkus (11/15/2003)
"Chevalier's technical skills are also evident as she unobtrusively threads into the narrative a good deal of historically evocative material about weaving. These details enrich a novel notable for its human warmth, expressed most movingly...."
New York Times Book Review - Wendy Smith (12/21/2003)
