From the blurb: " The period from 1200 to 1400, spanning the reigns of the five Plantagenet kings from Henyy III to Richard II, is one of the most varied and creative in the history of English art. Despite many interconnections with the Continent, English art forged its own particular characteristics and unrivalled works were produced in, for example, stained glass, illuminated manuscripts and embroidery, the latter becoming justly celebrated and exported throughout Europe. Other English specialities were monumental brass effigies, misericords with their humorous and satirical scenes and carved alabaster panels from Nottingham.

A curiosity, which Eric Quayle (who owned 6 copies in various bindings) considers in "A Collector's Book of Books". He describes a copy in a binding corresponding to ours as (apparently) the "earliest" cloth-bound book to bear a date (1823) upon its printed cover, but goes on to argue that in fact the binding dates from the early 1830s "since cloth with this watered-silk effect, although of an early date, did not come into use until five years later". Contents: Mysteries: I. The Birth of Mary; II. Mary's Education in the Temple, and being served by Angels; III. The Miraculous Espousal of Joseph and Mary; IV.
