The following morning I had breakfast at the Hotel Bristol with my French publisher and she asked me to write a short book about Notre Dame and what it means to all of us. She said she would donate the publisher’s profits to the rebuilding fund and, if I wished, I could do the same with my royalties. Yes, I said; of course, I’d love to.’ </i>– Ken Follett<br><br><b>A minimum of 50p per copy on each sale of this book will go to the heritage and restoration charity La Fondation du Patrimoine.</b></p> |
