{"product_id":"the-holy-island-of-lindisfarne","title":"The Holy Island of Lindisfarne","description":"David Adam has been captivated by the beauty, wonder and holiness of Lindisfarne since first glimpsing its fairytale castle from the train as a young boy. In this absorbing volume, he shows the island's human face, revealing how Lindisfarne and its people have responded to trial, tribulation and triumph in the course of a long and vibrant history.\nThis tiny place witnessed one of the last stands of the 'British' Celtic peoples against the invading Anglo-Saxons in the 6th century. It has been the home of saints and scholars, most notably St Aidan and St Cuthbert, and famously produced the medieval masterpiece known as the Lindisfarne Gospels. Less familiar to readers, perhaps, will be that the island experienced the first recorded Viking invasion in 793, and was involved in the 17th-century Civil War and the 18th-century Jacobite Rebellion. Today its ruined 11th-century Priory and 16th-century castle - later redesigned by the great English architect Edwin Lutyens - draw pilgrims and visitors from all over the world.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0281058989\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0281058989.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Adam, David\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
