Media Reviews
Excellent - whether purely as an introduction to the Middle Ages in Britain or as a text for use in conjunction with the National Curriculum or Common Entrance, Bob Pace covers the period of the Battle of Hastings to the Wars of the Roses, whilst also delving jnto the feudal system, castles, churches, monasteries and architecture. Niall Murphy, Radley College The best history book that I have seen in 35 years of teaching! Paul Nicholl, Handcross Park School At last! A book which isn't completely dumbed down, and which 'tells a story' in a very engaging manner. The ideal book for our very bright girls who actually want to know more, not less and which also fulfils the teacher's requirements. Gill David, St Catherine's School, Bramley
