Excellent History Book forNon-traditional History Folks
0 of 1 found this helpful When my children started taking history courses in high school 10-15 years ago, I realized how deficient I was in the subject area. It's tough to learn the subject without going to classes, but I realized I have always liked historical fiction.
I was most interested in the middle ages, and discovered Mr. Cornwell's two series of books dealing with that time period in Western Europe. The books are well-written even if a tad gory. I have found myself backstopping the accuracy of his works both through conversations with my kids (great conversations, by the way) and by doing my own homework. He is apparently right on the money.
The books are a great way to get the flavor of the middle ages, life in Western Europe during that period of time, and to also learn some of the names, dates, and places that prove so elusive to many history students.
I anxiously await each installment (something I'm sure his publisher appreciaets), and will buy the next when it is available.
