The Measly Middle Ages uncovers what life was really like in the Middle Ages when knights were bold and women wore tall pointy hats. Want to know a genuine jesterÂ’s joke? Why chickens had their bottoms shaved? Or what ten-year-old molasses was used for? Read on for some gruesome games, revolting recipes and fantastic facts. Find out about miserable medieval monks and schools that really knew how to make children suffer.


Ingram

4.0 out of 5 stars The Measly Middle Ages, Dec 14 2007
By Tami Brady "Whole Health Therapist" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Measly Middle Ages (Paperback)
Who says history has to be boring and serious? Measly Middle Ages tells the history of the middle ages while completely entertaining the reader. The book itself is filled with lots of interesting information, surprising facts, and insider jokes. It's great fun!

Measly Middle Ages is part of a series of Horrible Histories which teaches history in a interesting, fun, and humorous way. All of these books have great titles like Rotten Romans, Awesome Egyptians, Groovy Greeks, and Vicious Vikings. A copy of these books should be in every local school library.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Reduced Shakespeare Company" Does History, Feb 23 2004
By "antithesis90" (Hamel, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brat Pack: Measly Middle Ages (Paperback)
I came across Terry Deary completely by accident ~ in a gift shop in Scotland, shoved amongst other more "scholarly" hardcovers. As my graduate area of study is the Middle Ages, I was intrigued and bought the book on a whim ~ and haven't stopped buying Terry Deary's books since! Are the books chock-full of historical facts guaranteed to allow someone to walk away thinking they know everything about the Middle Ages, Greece, Rome, France, or any of Deary's other topics? No, of course not. Are the books a wonderfully entertaining (and illustrated!) way of addressing what can admittedly be a bit of a dry topic? Of course! I say any books that can make someone, young or old, become interested in history should be embraced fully. And, hey, I learn something new from every book I read, which is an added bonus! Further, I think these books definitely appeal to adults who have an interest or education in history ~ much as what "The Reduced Shakespeare Company" teaches us about Shakepeare is true about Deary's treatment of history: the better you know the original, the more funny and entertaining the condensed versions are.

5.0 out of 5 stars A replacement for Harry Potter, Jan 8 2003
By Jack Chang (Queens Village, Ny United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Measly Middle Ages (Paperback)
This great, enchanting, and captivating series attracted me since i was a child. Not only is this an educating experience, this also provides information in a very enjoyable way. Attractive to the most intelligent minds, and interesting to every child, this makes a great gift and also a great reader.
It will make you smile and even laugh out loud as you read book after book. My only question is, why would they ever stop priting? I ask Scholastic to continue print so all who desire a book can recieve one. Thank you.

I am really in the debt of Terry Deary. If it weren't for him and his wonderful "Horrible History" series, I would never have been introduced to history. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute but not astute
This book would not do for a young person who actually wants to learn some history, as the history aspect is done just a little too "lite". Read more
