The book reconstructs life in England in the year 1000 following the rhythm of the seasons: a world of monks, warriors and merchants where fear of the Apocalypse coexisted with advances such as brain surgery. It draws on historians and archaeologists to describe peasant life and the beliefs of the era.

For readers of social history and historical popularisation, especially those interested in medieval England and the turn of the millennium.
