...lies ("I was born nowhere/And I live in a tree."). The next step led to lines beginning "I used to . . ." alternated with "But now I . . ." This especially charmed the kids, perhaps because it reminded them of their own constant physical change. First-Grader Andrea Dockery offered a typical thought...

As if in answer to the formal strictness and intricate metaphysics of early medieval thought, with its insistence that the world is only a screen and a simile for divine existence, angels like the one who blows the last trump across the wall of the llth century Italian Basilica of St. Angelo in Formis are stern, unbending, and (literally) otherworldly.

The result is the best all-round book on the subject for the general reader in years. Absorbing, gracefully written, freshly thought out, it is, in addition, that rare hybrid, a coffee-table book with both brains and beauty. The glossy pages are strewn with well-selected (though skimpily captioned) illustrations that vividly reflect the squalor and especially the sentiment of 19th century England...
