They appear to portray the seduction of a unicorn, but the story behind their making is unknown--until now.\u003cp\u003eParis, 1490. A shrewd French nobleman commissions six lavish tapestries celebrating his rising status at Court. He hires the charismatic, arrogant, sublimely talented Nicolas des Innocents to design them. Nicolas creates havoc among the women in the house--mother and daughter, servant, and lady-in-waiting--before taking his designs north to the Brussels workshop where the tapestries are to be woven. There, master weaver Georges de la Chapelle risks everything he has to finish the tapestries--his finest, most intricate work--on time for his exacting French client. The results change all their lives--lives that have been captured in the tapestries, for those who know where to look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eThe Lady and the Unicorn\u003c\/b\u003e, Tracy Chevalier weaves fact and fiction into a beautiful, timeless, and intriguing literary tapestry--an extraordinary story exquisitely told.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780452285453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/27\/2005 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e77438 \/ Lady and the Unicorn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tracy Chevalier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637480288412,"sku":"9780452285453","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7f6f0793-fa60-4e7a-9343-7a6ac358f9ad.jpg?v=1603844877","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-lady-and-the-unicorn-9780452285453","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
