"The text presents an overview of life in the Middle Ages through descriptions of noble and notable individuals such as Charlemagne, Heloise and Abelard, Thomas Becket, and William Marshal ... The book is divided into four chapters that center on the people of the church, the knightly class, peasants and rural landowners, and town dwellers ... A handsomely designed, admirably balanced blend of pictures and text." SLJ. |
