From reviews of the 2008 new edition
“Each epitaph is a mini-biography captured in a work of art. So it
is worth learning how to read them. You will not find a better way
of doing so than this book. The author John Parker has a genuine
talent for teaching this difficult
subject.”
Michelle Hockley, Ancestors Magazine, July 2009 “teaches you how to
read the epitaphs that marked the deaths, and lives, of our
ancestors. . . . written for you to work through from beginning to
end, but I found you can also slip it into your pocket and take it
with you to a church for instant decoding.”
Sarah Williams, Who Do You Think You Are?, February 2009
