A well-researched and accessible history
5 stars
Ian Mortimer strikes a great balance between serious history and accessibility. His style of writing, while not “light”, is still very pleasurable to read. This book gives a lot of details about the daily lives of people from the Elizabethan time. He tries to show people in the past as real people instead characters in story.
