Children's book about cathedrals


Cathy 13/05/2008, 18:20

One of my children is fascinated by large churches.  The UK are issuing stamps of famous cathedrals and I'm getting her a set for a present.  With this, I want to give her a book on UK cathedrals in order to inspire her to visit them.  On Amazon, most of the featured books do not give you what the pages look like inside.  I have to buy online as I live in France.

Does anyone know of a book on UK cathedrals, which is easy-to-read and with lots of photographs?

(I've checked with Dorling Kindersley and they don't do one.)

I don't know if they are what you are looking for but I like the look of the second one!

Thanks Puzzled for doing this research.  I had no idea that there was an I-Spy book on cathedrals.  I've just placed an order for one so thanks for that.  I used to do I-Spy and even joined the I-Spy Club!

As for the others, it's such a shame that no one has reviewed them nor are there any sample pages to see.  They both look interesting.  Neither are very expensive so if no one else suggests anything, I might order both.

No reviews on Amazon, either, but I think I have seen the second one, and it was OK.
