This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Oct 23, Brent Barnard rated it liked it. I like this because really, it's the only book of its kind as far as I know. It lets you know what folks did for fun way back in the Middle Ages. People haven't changed much. Back then they still had jocks and the whole high-school scene it seems to me, except instead of football, they had hunting, etc.
