"There is no substitute for local guides . . . One splendid example . . . is The Amateur Historian's Guide to Medieval and Tudor London."
Review
"'The Amateur Historian's Guide To Medieval & Tudor London' by Sarah Valente Kettler and Carole Trimble looks at English history between 1066 and 1600 and offers a plethora of insights along with touring and travel trips to make a London visit more enjoyable for any with an interest in the medieval era. Trivia tidbits, a lighthearted tone, and practical information concerning various historic institutions open for visitors make 'The Amateur Historian's Guide To Medieval & Tudor London' a fun and practical guide. Also very highly recommended is Sarah Valente Kettler and Carole Trimble's 'Medieval & Tudor England Day Trips South Of London: Dover, Canterbury, Rochester' which offers a wealth of high-spirited venues through which one can see reflections of the medieval era in areas south of London. A fun and trivia-packed travel guide for history buffs, packed with telephone numbers, opening times, admission prices, information on conveniences, extensive descriptions and capsule histories for each mentioned site and so much more."
Midwest Book Review, December, 2003
"Anglophiles or those planning trips to England might find a new book helpful...This second title in the Amateur Historian's Guide series provides a light, humorous guide to the people and places of the Middle and Tudor ages that have left their imprint in the South of London. The book...complements the first in the series, which focused on London."
County Sunday Star
"The Dickens connection is just one tidbit about the English city that's included in The Amateur Historians Guide to Medieval & Tudor England ... The lively book is full of the history that seemed so boring in high school as it lays out trips throughout the counties of Kent, Sussex and Surrey."
Rochester NY Democrat and Chronicle
