Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 3-6-Simple but well-done basic historical information provides better-than-average insight into social forces that moved societies from the medieval era to the Renaissance and into later periods of unrest and revolt. In both books, two-page sections introduce facets of everyday life and culture, social structure, government, and factors that led to change. Colorful, eye-pleasing illustrations, reproductions of period artwork, maps, and cutaways of buildings, plus large print result in an attractive, easy-to-read format. However, the texts are often choppy. Andrew Langley's Medieval Life (1996) and Renaissance (1999, both Knopf) also provide colorful, attractive overviews of life and culture in these two periods.-Cynthia M.
