Travel back in time this Christmas to an entirely different reality: England during the Middle Ages. Imagine being able to return to the 14th century. What would you see, hear, and smell? Where would you stay? What would you eat? And how would you know if the plague was visiting you?
In The Time Traveler's Guide, Ian Mortimer's radical new approach overturns our understanding of history. History is not just something to be studied, but something to be experienced, whether it's the life of a peasant or a lord. The result is perhaps the most astonishing history book you will ever read, as revolutionary as it is informative, as entertaining as it is shocking.
"Ian Mortimer is the most remarkable medieval historian of our time" - The Times
"Since the Canterbury Tales, this must be the most entertaining book ever written about the Middle Ages" - Guardian
