Historical The Writer's Guide to Everyday Life in the Middle Ages by Sherrilyn Kenyon $17.99 / Writer's Digest Books / 1995 Designed to help writers accurately portray characters and scenes set in the British Isles during the millennium 500-1500, this book is useful to anyone interested in the period, especially reenactors. Everyday Life in the Middle Ages contains information on day-to-day life in England, from the fall of Rome until the end of the medieval period. The book is grouped into four sections: Everyday Life, Rank & Privilege, God & War, and People & Places. Each section is further divided into chapters like Food, Clothing, Titles, Heraldry, The Church, Weapons and War, The Saxons, and France & Normandy. Accompanying art includes many photographs, most of which look like they were taken at Renaissance faires of people wearing authentic garb or armor and demonstrating appropriate equipment, like arms or instruments. This book gives a solid overview of the English Middle Ages and is crammed full with a wealth of useful details that will be appreciated a variety of readers. —Capt. Mikal Warchola of Carpathia
