  Entertaining read for dilettantesBook rating: 5

  This is a great read for people who like generalist history merged with travelogue - dilettantes like myself. It's got some fascinating stories in it about the origin of paints and their colours and skips back and forth between famous painters and sea slugs, beetles and Australia. It's not an in-depth history of a subject but an entertaining overview illustrated with interesting items from the past. by Melissa
