One of the best books combining history, legends and mythology I have ever had the pleasure to read. John Henry Haaren has woven together all three into a fun and easy to read book spanning the entire Middle Ages. Due to limited space he covered all major characters briefly but with sufficient detail to provide the reader a clear picture of each. I have always been somewhat of a history buff, however, I learned several interesting things and was reminded of many more. The fact that I recognized and remembered so much gave me confidence in the veracity of the new information. I highly recommend this book to any history buff, or as a primer for the student of the Middle Ages. Although not historically based, for entertainment I recommend my novels, just search in the Kindle Store under "JM Herriott."
