"A lively, entertaining book loaded with fascinating detail about city life in the Middle Ages. Black and white photos and illustrations. This book is well-known as the most comprehensive, accurate, and readable of its genre. Ages high school through adult."
"I found this book interesting and easy to understand. It gives details about life in 1250 A.D. in Troyes, a city in the county of Champagne in northern Europe. It talks about town government, disasters, entertainment, education, religion, medicine, business (small and large), weddings, funerals, childbirth, children, housewives, and the home."
"This is, first of all, an interesting book. Not altogether well written, but interesting. The Author(s) have a great understanding of historical concepts and I would recommend this book to anyone taking an introduction to Medieval studies, however I would not recommend it to someone looking for a good read."
"This series of medieval life books by Gies gives a solid overview of the various day-to-day happenings during the period as well as the pulse points of historically pivotal moments as they affected the Europeans of the time. It's perhaps not riveting reading for anyone other than history buffs. However, I've found it mildly entertaining and in the very least quite useful for research."
