Query: I hope it gets better...

Like another reviewer, I too am in the SCA. Unlike that reviewer, I found this book wanting based on the first three pages alone! The author makes multiple factual errors, e.g. describing the period from the beginning of Henry VIII's reign to the English Civil War as "peaceful." My guess is that Henry VIII's war with France, Elizabeth's persistent problems on the Scots border, and the Armada were deemed insignificant. He describes Mary Tudor's reign as undistinguished and refers to her restorattion of the Catholic church and persecution of Protestants as something of an afterthought. This demonstrates at a minimum that the author has seriously neglected an understanding of the historical reality of the period. This calls into questions anything else that may be brought forward regarding "Daily Life." I am reluctant to "review" a book I have not read, but given the preview on Amazon, I was deeply troubled!
