Reviews

[Reina Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good overview of the medieval world. The illustrated maps seem more geared toward elementary school ages, but the facts and writing are interesting enough to keep an adult's attention. A nice companion to my son's 7th grade medieval studies (homeschooling).

A very readable, comprehensive, well-illustrated timeline of medieval culture from 400 to 1400 A.D. One of the unique and fascinating aspects of the book is how well it shows what was happening around the world at this time. One of the best pictorial world histories of the time. Grades 4-12.

This book was full of information about the medieval world. I liked finding out what was going on outside of Europe in the Middle Ages. The illustrations pertained to the text and it presented a different perspective.
