My Bayeux Tapestry: A Colouring Book

Olivier has illustrated My Bayeux Tapestry: A Colouring Book, published by Nosy Crow in partnership with the British Museum. A 48-page narrative colouring book for children aged 5 and up, it features 14 scenes from the iconic embroidery, telling the story of Harold II, William the Conqueror, and the Battle of Hastings. Developed with curators at the Museum, it offers an interactive introduction to an artwork that is nearly 1,000 years old - what an awesome project to be part of!
