Oh Oh!! I was a wee bit sceptical about joining (I have) as I´ve done a  future learn thingy and TBH honest it was on the Level of a 1960´s "look and learn" article. Theories presented as fact etc, and in the same way as asking  a look and learn article a question..no answers were given.
I´ve yet to read her book but I´ve heard a Tonnage of criticism...especially about her Interpretation of the numbers involved, 3 to 4? Seems a weeeee bit low considering all the contemporary accounts.

Medieval Lego
