Seller, awesomebooks, says it is a paperback book:<br /><br />THE FLANDERS PANEL by ARTURO PEREZ-REVERTE. 9780006548294 [ISBN] <br /><br />Cover shows a cameo with two medieval guys playing chess with a blonde woman in the background. Publisher is Flamingo Books. I suspect this is the British edition. <br /><br />I personally have a different recollection of a picture where there is a chessboard and the surface is being peeled off to show part of the Flanders Panel. It may be a figment of my imagination. :-) Chris DobyChris Dobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739995581985243322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-7407362386994081602020-11-02T16:29:11.462+00:002020-11-02T16:29:11.462+00:00Excellent book.

I did enjoy the movie very much as I had searched it out after reading The Flanders Panel which I absolutely adored. <br /><br />A couple of odd notes about the book and the movie. <br /><br />I first read the book in hardcover and then in paperback. I have a very vivid recollection of the actual painting described in the book. However, when I have revisited both the hardcover and paperback versions, I am finding that there is no actual picture of the paining on either cover or inside the book -- at least, on any of the English language versions. So, where am I getting my memory? As my memory of the painting preceded my watching of the movie. <br /><br />As for the movie, I read that Kate Beckinsale would really like to forget this movie and that she ever starred in it. She was at the very start of her career and, I believe, forced to do a nude scene for the movie... Also, the male romantic lead -- Paudge Behan -- had a rather checkered personal life. He was the lead suspect (although later cleared) in the murder of an elderly woman in Tuscany in 2008. Not sure if anyone was ever formally charged for the crime.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995982147251682733noreply@blogger.com
