Overview
King of the Confessors is Thomas Hoving's gripping account of the extraordinary events surrounding the Metropolitan Museum of Art's purchase, in 1963, of the magnificent medieval carved walrus ivory cross that the Museum calls 'The Cloisters Cross', but Hoving calls 'The Bury St Edmund Cross'. This new edition contains revelations that render the events even more extraordinary, and explains why Hoving thinks the Museum has got it wrong.Book Details
