A vivid detailed account of birth, marriage and death; food, clothing and housing; love and labour in Europe of the Middle Ages. Readers are transported back into the fascinating world of medieval life to discover everything from castle-storming techniques to villager's hair style. The next of the book is by two respected academics in history and anthropology and was previously published as three separate, and very popular, volumes. The 300 full colour illustrations show authentic medieval scenes from illuminated manuscripts, paintings, prayer books, statues, woodcarvings and stained glass windows from the period.
