About this book
This beautiful and heartfelt encyclopedia of rural life in the middle ages gets its special charm because the author as a little girl knew shepherds and laborers who lived in a way hardly changed through the centuries. She shares that land now lost forever where man was the measure of all things. Using as a framework a 16th-century calendar of advice for farmers she takes us month by month through the country-dwellers year and opens up the customs and traditions of a vanished rural life. "An entrancing world where the farmers mind and arms and the land beneath his feet gave him all he needed to fashion a full and happy life." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
