As the summer sun beats down......probably.....Charlie Higson brings you another great historical book to get your sunglasses into.
The Light Ages by Seb Falk, A Medieval Journey Of Discovery.
It's easy to form an impression of how backward and ignorant everybody was in the Middle Ages, BUT in his book, Seb explores the time through the life of an extraordinary monk, John of Westwick and he uncovers an age when people were eager to learn about the workings of the world and indeed of the stars in the universe, demonstrating just how much more people knew, than we give them credit for.
