         From the QPB website:


The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England

Learn about Medieval history from the frontlines! History expert Ian 
Mortimer transports readers to squalid old England in The Time 
Traveler's Guide to Medieval England, a warts-and-all survey of 
everyday 14th century life. Mortimer's unique visitor's-guide 
approach gives readers a stunning sense of being there. The 
population's young (half are 21 or younger) but surprisingly diverse: 
you have farmers, fighters, jugglers, mariners and more!

Mortimer discusses hygiene (or lack thereof), the horrors of 
contemporary medicine (with disturbing descriptions of the plague) 
and law (each town was decorated with hanging corpses of petty 
thieves.) This tongue-in-cheek visitor's guide is amazingly 
entertaining and informative!
