[Debbie · Rating 4 out of 5]

A well written and detailed book, using much original source material, about alehouses in England during the medieval and early modern periods. It is particularly useful for researching the social lives of the lower classes as it doesn't concentrate on the inns and taverns that were frequented by the richer members of society. An accessible yet scholarly book.
