Not just the royals, nobles, or religious, but at all levels of society? This book has details I have not found anywhere else - from the climate control systems of Frankish palaces supposedly they were heated or cooled depending on the season by hot or cold water pipes in the walls that also furnished the downstairs baths to the fact that butchers were one of the best paid professionals and the slaughterhouse in Paris dated back to ancient times before the Roman empire.

If you don't know much about the period culture, this year-old book can lead you badly astray with WAY out-of-date Victorian constructions of the time. I mean, "Gates of Hell" sideless surcoat interpreted as a gown with a kind of external corset is the big flashing red light. That said, if you ignore his interpretations, he is a mine of great original stuff. Start there with the hundreds illustrations reproducing original period art. Then add all the minutiae he pulls out of period authors on what the peasants ate and when, as well as noble life, what games people played and what Lent really meant.

Add to this that for a change it's about life in France, rather than England in the period.

Item Preview

This book covers a lot of topics, most of which were fascinating. I read the Kindle edition, which included long "lists" of illustrations.

However, it appears that the printed book has the actual illustrations, because there were not any in the Kindle edition. I am sure that I would have enjoyed the book even more, had I been able to see the illustrations. However, in spite of this one flaw, the book is still worthwhile reading. So, don't be put off by this one issue. This book serves as a good starting point if you want to learn some basic information about medieval customs, dress, food, manners, etc. It is great for novices like me who want to know more about medival lifestyles but who don't have an extensive background already on medieval "things.

The problem, I felt, with the "Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England" was that the text sometimes became bogged down in medieval jargan and historical referrences. While this book might not offer much in terms of new information for long-time Middle-Age scholars and experts, it does give some good, solid information in an enjoyable and easy-to-understand format.

Also, please note that the book is an English translation from French, so it reads a bit awkward in places. Another downside was the large number of typographical errors that were annoying, such as "receipt" for "recipe". Regardless of the these negative points, I still recommend this book, giving it two thumbs-up.

A great deficit in this book were the references to many figures and illustration in the original book but were not included in the kindle version. A second difficulty was the very formal style of writing.

Obviously, this book was written long ago. The language made for a slow reading pace. On a positive note, this was obviously a copied version of the original book so mistakes on spelling and formatting were few in number. See all 39 reviews. Most recent customer reviews. Published 1 year ago.
