What is Durham : a Thousand Years of History and Legend about?
With its magnificent Norman cathedral and castle, the historic city of Durham has become a world-famous tourist attraction. Martin Dufferwiel's book is a celebration of this unique city and of the country that has grown up around it, from the day in AD 995 when a group of monks carrying the coffin of St. Cuthbert settled on what was then known as "the Dunholm" to the present time. Wars, saints, kings, and mythical beasts are all included in this tale of over 1,000 years, as are surveyors, locomotive engineers, miners, and more.
