This graphic novel is a sequence of stories seeking to explain the meaning of the Shrine across time, both to its architects and supporters, and to the many Victorians who contributed to its creation, and to those who have visited, violated and venerated it since. Some of the stories are individual and intimate; others are public history from the archives. In Laura J. Carroll’s words and pictures, the building’s many lives are brought into focus in new and exciting ways. (publisher\'s synopsis)
