How to Survive in Medieval England

By: Toni Mount

Narrated by: Derek Perkins

Imagine you were transported back in time to Medieval England and had to start a new life there. Without mobile phones, iPads, internet, and social media networks, when transport means walking or, if you're fortunate, horseback, how will you know where you are or what to do? Where will you live? What is there to eat? What shall you wear? How can you communicate when nobody speaks as you do and what about money? Who can you go to if you fall ill or are mugged in the street? However can you fit into and thrive in this strange environment full of odd people who seem so different from you?

All these questions and many more are answered in this new guidebook for time-travelers: How to Survive in Medieval England. A handy guide with tips and suggestions to make your visit to the Middle Ages much more fun, this lively and engaging book will help the listener deal with the new experiences they may encounter and the problems that might occur. Know the laws so you don't get into trouble or show your ignorance in an embarrassing faux pas.

Enjoy interviews with the celebrities of the day, from a businesswoman and a condemned felon, to a royal cook and King Richard III himself. Have a go at preparing medieval dishes and learn some new words to set the mood for your time-traveling adventure. You'll have an exciting visit with this helpful guide.

Great

Fun, interesting. My only complaint was that it was too short! I would have loved even more detail! However, I usually have a hard time with nonfiction being so terribly disorganized and, frankly, boring (even though I I'm super intersted). This was neither!

I love Toni Mount!

I've enjoyed other books by this author
And highly recommend them
I like that you're told fun facts and things we assume about medieval times
But tells you the truth
Also you learn about common sayings
Like "straight laced" or where a nursery rhyme comes from

Hilarious, informative

Don’t forget to learn the neck first in Latin. If you have a sense of humor, or think you have a sense of humor, you must listen to this book.
