About This Novel
From the 30,000-year-old Georgian plant fiber to the linen that wrapped Tutankhamun's mummy; from the Silk Road to the woolen sails that helped the Vikings reach America 700 years before Columbus; from the lace that angered the Puritans to the cotton and cotton that drove the Industrial Revolution - fabrics are everywhere in our lives. Whether artificial or natural, fabrics of all kinds are defining, changing, enhancing, and shaping the world we live in. The "cast" of "The Golden Thread" includes China's Lei Zu, Britain's "Richard the Lionheart" and Bing Crosby, the first Grammy Award-winning Lifetime Achievement Award. They will lead us to run with escaped slaves, climb the slopes of Mount Everest, and walk in space with astronauts. The golden thread runs through history, bringing us unforgettable adventures past, present and future.
