As other reviews have noted, the narration is a cure for insomnia, but the topic interests me, I learned much l, and have a much better understanding of life in and around York during medieval times which will lend insight in the future when I read, listen or watch other productions set in England in this time period.

'Short and gentle' ís how this work is described in the summary. I have listened to the reading of a shopping list with more emotion than that of this presentation. Facts are all well and good but need to be presented well to capture one's imagination. Alas not so here.

I felt like I was in an undergrad class in history. Fortunately I enjoy history but that’s not what I expected or wanted when I bought this book
