[Janalyn Voigt · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is great for "quick and dirty" research. It's brevity does not scrimp on facts but rather delivers them in a concise manner. I learned as much from vivid illustrations taken from ancient illuminations, paintings and tapestries as I did from the text. Admirable on all points, this book is a gem.
