REVIEW: I received a free copy of this audiobook from NetGalley and am voluntarily writing an honest review.
A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages is a history book that describes the different ways that people traveled during the Middle Ages, and the challenges and dangers that such travel involved. While the book is overwhelmingly Eurocentric, it does touch a bit on the travels of people from China and eastern Asia as well.
I enjoyed this book, for the most part. Since travel was overwhelmingly religious for Europeans in the Middle Ages, this biggest part of this book details the route that people took from Western Europe to the Holy Lands, and touches on the stops along the way. I found this to be interesting, but I think a little more diversity would have been interesting to read as well.
