Theft of Magna Carta [antikvár]

Aothor's NoteThere are some inconsistencies and inaccuracies toward the end of this book, relating to the security arrangements at Salisbury Cathedral and for Magna Carta as weU as other priceless manuscripts. These discrepancies are quite deliberate, for I should hate to give any secrets away. One of the most heartening things I discovered in researching was how many security secrets exist And I am sure that some were discreetly concealed from me.As is my custom I wrote this book first out of remembered facts, for one is researching all the time and storing up much informationsome of it false, faked or forgotten. After the first writing was done I went to the cathedral for help to get my facts rightIf at first I was regarded with mild suspicion when making inquiries, once it had been made clear that I really wasn*t planning to steal the Sarum Magna Carta much careful and courteous help was given me by all the officials concerned.I shall always be warmly grateful to them all.tohn creasey.
