In the 12th century, England was ruled by a powerful and corrupt king. One man, Thomas Becket, dared to stand up to him. He was murdered, and his body was mutilated. For centuries, people have searched for Becket's relics - his bones, clothes, and even his shoes. But no one knows where they are. In The Quest for Becket's Bones, John Butler tells the incredible story of the monks who have devoted their lives to finding Becket's remains. They have traveled to far-off countries, braved dangerous weather conditions, and faced danger from both enemies and friends. They have even hidden the relics in plain sight, only to have them discovered by accident. In this suspenseful and fascinating book, Butler brings the monks of Becket's time to life and tells the riveting story of their quest.; B & W and Color Photographs/Illustrations; Large 8vo; 180 pages.
