A short summary of The Middle Ages:
A good overview of the period between the Roman Empire and the Renaissance.
My favorite Henry Freeman quote from the book:
"This period of time is so shrouded in mystery that it's often difficult to discern where truth ends and mystery begins."
Questions to ponder while reading the book:
Did you realize that Greek learning wasn't rediscovered until the 11th Century?
Did you realize how instrumental Charlamange was to education?
My review of The Middle Ages:
A good overview of a long time period.
Highlights the important points.
I really thought the spinning wheel was much older.
