"The Story of the Middle Ages", by Samuel B. Harding, relates the history of the Middle Ages simply, directly, and entertainingly. The material is well-arranged and the selection of topics is excellent. Special attention is given to presenting the life of the people-peasant, noble, and court. Although dated in certain aspects, Harding's book offers balanced critiques of most cultures and events which should be helpful to young students of the period.
