Heaps of fun, and endlessly fascinating - a must read for any history of art enthusiast. Utterly brilliant.

Alice Loxton

I loved this fun, fast-paced journey through the story of art. Equally amusing and enlightening, this brilliant book offers an answer for every art question you've wanted to ask, plus those you're yet to think of while standing in a museum. Beautifully illustrated, it deserves a place in every gallery's gift shop. I wish I'd had a copy of this wonderful book as an art student!

Packed with facts and a lively wit that would have the Mona Lisa grinning

Verity Babbs has done the impossible – taken a very high-brow, highly edumacated topic and stripped it back into bite-size pieces that make absolute sense. Nothing daunting about this book – get stuck in!
