''--Peter Levi, The Independent. ''Norwich is always on the lookout for the small but revealing details...the significant anecdote...the bizarre episode. All of this he recounts in a style that consistently entertains and sometimes sparkles, and with an unerring sense of what the modern Western reader needs to know. ''--Jaroslav Pelikan, New York Times Book Review. Volume 2 of 2.
