Following on his acclaimed Lucy's Bones, Sacred Stones & Einstein's Brain, the insatiably curious Harvey Rachlin tells the fascinating & often hilarious tales of forty more historical artifacts, ranging from the obscure to the majestic. Each of these objects is a tangible piece of history, with its own story to tell, a story that opens a window to the past, giving us a glimpse into the time from which it came & the people whose lives it affected. After three blockbuster specials in 1998, "History's Lost & Found," based on Rachlin's writing, premiered as a weekly prime-time show in August of 1999 & immediately took off. Whether tracing the path of the four existing original copies of the Magna Carta, or recounting the mad police search to recover Marilyn Monroe's white dress from The Seven Year Itch, Rachlin presents a wonderfully diverse range of tales of historical artifacts.
