2.0 out of 5 stars
Informative but dry,
By BB "hmschoolsa" (San Antonio, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The City (Life in the Middle Ages) (Library Binding)
I bought this book hoping for a great book to teach my daughter about medieval cities. I found it to be very general in the descriptions and too dry for a 9 to 12 year old. My eleven year old stopped reading it within the first chapter and she is a history lover. There were many statements within the book without explanation. Such as, "About half the children died before they reached the age of five." No explanation or discussion about the diseases or dangers of the time that caused a high mortality rate instead on to "most children spent their time in play." If and when this book and its companions come out in paperback, at a much lower price, the series might be worth adding to your library.
