The Time Traveller's Guide to Elizabethan England (Unabridged… (original 2012; edition 2012)

Take a time machine back to the middle ages in England with this fascinating guidebook. I loved the engrossing and entirely believable descriptions of daily life - food, housing, clothing, medicine, law, entertainment, travel and social niceties. Mortimer’s work is both scholarly and fun to read. You will take away curious factoids such as: your class in life determined what fur you could wear, from ermine to rabbit, and until the 13th century there was no difference between the left and right shoes.
