I just read a great book by Ian Mortimer. The book is The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England. It's subtitled A Handbook for Visitors to the Fourteenth Century and Ian delivers. He writes in a conversational style that we wish for in many guidebooks. Fourteenth century England comes alive as a country you may want to visit. He covers all the items you may need if you suddenly have access to a time machine. With chapters on the landscape, people, what to wear, traveling, the law and more the past, this book is based on excellent research on the time period. I look forward to reading the rest of the series as well as his other history books. I just got an email from my library saying one is in. I'll talk about that one next week.
