Review of "The time traveller's guide to medieval England" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This book definitely has its problems. Some of the reviews here have pointed out the authors views on women, and he does a very poor job of hiding his feelings behind the guise of “Those were the times folks.”
But I have a sinking gut feeling watching some of my favorite old shows when a joke hits wrong, or the social commentary isn’t quite appropriate. I still love those shows, and I really found this book to be incredibly engaging, and an amazing digestible resource for newbies to the medieval world (that’d be me, I’m the newbie).
It’s interesting and informative enough to be a serious look at 14th century England, but approachable enough that just about anybody can read it.
