About The Book
Discover what life was like for peasants living in Medieval Europe through this calendar of their daily labors and chores.
Based on a Medieval Book of Hours, Till Year’s Good End describes the monthly activities of rural peasants in England during the Middle Ages.
Rhyming couplets banner the top of each page while a paragraph for each month elaborates on the daily chores, showing the round of seasons in the farm year.
“Each turn of the page reveals a new month and its chores, from plowing, planting and pruning to mending, spinning, and milling.” — Publishers Weekly
