Summary: Beautifully illustrated coffee table book
Comment: After introducing the medieval period by discussing the fall of Rome, the age of Charlemagne, the Vikings, Plantagenets, Capets, City States of Italy, the rise of the Church and the rise of Russia, the author divides this book into his main themes: 1. Castles, Nobles and Knights; 2. Town and Country; 3. Houses of God; 4. The Secluded Life; and 5. Into Battle. The author covers each of these sections with short essays, beautiful illustrations, gatefolds that picture a sight in its present state and then illustrates the sight as it would appear during the medieval period. This is a well written, beautifully illustrated book, although it is rather short (120 pages).
