The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England: A Handbook for Visitors to the Fourteenth Century
Ian Mortimer
Time Traveler’s Guide to Medieval England is a very good book. Mortimer gives you all the tips you need should you find yourself in England in the 14th century. Should you stay at an inn or a yeoman’s house? Where can you expect to sit in the hall of a noble?
Mortimer gets creative with his answers. He speaks as if you are really there, walking along the road in London. When he speaks about the Black Death, he brings humanity to the staggering statistics. He makes the people and history breathe.
If you are not interested in Social History, skip this book. If you are curious as to what to wear, where to shop, what the dancing is like and questions like this, this book is a must read.
