Synopsis
This 1904 publication is essentially designed for teaching children history, but that doesn't mean to say adults should ignore it. It offers extended summaries, rather than in-depth detail, of thirty famous men - and one woman (Joan of Ark) - of the Middle Ages. Each chapter also covers other prominent men from these times. The period covered ranges from AD 394-1471, though it also sums up times pre-394 and briefly rounds up to 1485 when Henry VII won the English crown from Richard III. With this being aimed at children it shouldn't be surprising that the language is simple. The advantage of this is that there are no long sections of condensed waffle or unnecessary digression. The author picks out the most relevant events and details and he explains it all in clear terms.
