The middle ages around the world

A very readable, well-illustrated timeline of medieval culture from 400 to 1400 A.D., covering all the world, not just Europe. One of the unique and fascinating aspects of the book is how well it shows what was happening around the world at this time, so you get a world view, not just one focused on Europe. For timeline and maps, one of the best pictorial world atlases of medieval times. Grades 4-12.
