The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England by Ian Mortimer

5.0

---

I read this book to get a better idea of daily life in the fourteenth century to inspire my medieval fantasy stories, and I'm glad I did. By allowing himself to fill in the blanks in historical evidence using related sources and common sense, Ian Mortimer paints a more vivid and comprehensive picture of history than I have seen anywhere else, answering many questions that I hadn't even thought of asking.
