A glittering history of the world told through gold, with a blingtastically gold cover!

Spanning billions of years from the Big Bang to the present day, this richly illustrated book tells the true stories behind 30 gold museum objects from around the world.

The book's glorious golden treasures include Pharaoh Tutankhamun's million-dollar tomb, the golden breastplate of tattooed Scythian warrior queen, the world's first minted gold coin, and gold dust purported to be salvaged from the pirate Blackbeard's final voyage. The Story of Gold also explores gold rushes, gold vaults, gold mines, gold clothes, gold regalia and gold jewellery, as well as gold in space. Each story shows why gold is so precious, and what makes it alluring.
