A Handbook for Visitors to the Fourteenth Century - Ian Mortimer
Just finished this today - what a wonderful book! Well-written and interesting to read, educational and thought provoking. I love his attitude towards judging our ancestors by our own standards. He says that they worked just as hard as we and reared their children and cleaned their homes according to the standards of their day. They took pride in their homes and in their children's behaviour just as we do. Well done Ian Mortimer! I've recommended this book to more than a few of my friends.
