Ian Mortimer shows us that the past is not just something to be studied; it is also something to be lived. He sets out to explain what life was like in the most immediate way, through taking you to the Middle Ages.
The result is the most astonishing social history book you are ever likely to read: evolutionary in its concept, informative and entertaining in its detail, and startling for its portrayal of humanity in an age of violence, exuberance and fear.

Also, Mortimer succeeds in going into detail while keeping the listener entertained and attentive.
Finally, the narrator's voice is warm and clear, which is a big plus for me as English isn't my primary language.
A great read. I recommend this book to anyone who wonders what life would be if we were born in those times instead of our own.

What made the experience of listening to The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England the most enjoyable?
For me, history comes alive when I can understand the world in which people lived. While there's not a lot of "story" here, Mortimer does a great job of painting a picture of what the century would have been like, especially coming from our perspective. He says that one cannot truly understand one's own century without first coming to know two others. I think that is true.Effectively "translates" England's 14th Century
