Summary of Ian Mortimer's The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The city is so proud, so grand, and in some places so beautiful, but it also displays all the disgusting features of a bloated glutton. The city as a whole is a caricature of the human body: smelly, dirty, commanding, rich, and indulgent.

#2 A major town is a intimidating place. It is a place of fear and decay, but it is also a place of activity and life. As you walk under the shadow of a city gatehouse, you realize that it is much more than that.

#3 The city is alive with activity, and within a short time, you forget about the traitors. The absence of animal dung in the streets is a sign of the city’s vitality.

#4 The noise and textures of the city do not reflect the fact that few people actually live in the larger towns and cities of England. The daytime population of a city can be two or even three times greater than the number of people living within the walls.
