This is an enjoyable overview of life in England in the year 1000. Framed around the Julius Work Calendar, chapters follow the months and each month reflects a theme as illustrated in the Calendar allowing the authors to focus on food, animals, farming, harvesting food, war, and more. It's a fun, easy to read, and short history that is designed for the lay reader, although it provides a nice bibliography for people who want to learn more.
