Forget everything you know about libraries 📚🔍

Mona has just opened Phrontisterion – a subterranean wonderland where rare books, literary treasures and hidden curiosities sit beneath a monumental artwork overlooking the Derwent River.

Think Shakespeare, Bowie, secret tunnels, reading lounges and a cave-like library for kids! 🕵️‍♀️

This week we feature the popular historical novellist, Philippa Gregory. She is the author of over 50 novels and is most well-known for those set in Tudor England. We love her writing, but we also adore her book covers which are always dripping in the history, fashion and textiles of the time period. What's been your favourite book cover?
