The Book of the Middle Ages

In The Book of the Middle Ages, students see how Christianity spread out, building a new civilization on the remnants of the Roman Empire. Dorothy Mills covers the great moments of the medieval period, from the establishment of the monasteries and the rise of the universities to the crowning of Charlemagne and the death of Joan of Arc, in an engaging narrative grounded in scholarly research that makes the Middle Ages accessible to middle-school readers. This Memoria Press Second Edition is illustrated and includes maps.
