The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England : A Handbook for Visitors to the Fourteenth Century

Imagine you could travel back to the fourteenth century. What would you see, and hear, and smell ? Where would you stay ? What are you going to eat ? And how are you going to test to see if you are going down with the plague ?

In The Time Traveller's Guide Ian Mortimer's radical new approach turns our entire understanding of history upside down. History is not just something to be studied ; it is also something to be lived, whether that's the life of a peasant or a lord.

The result is perhaps the most astonishing history book you are ever likely to read ; as revolutionary as it is informative, as entertaining as it is startling.
