I read this in about an hour or so; it has a lot of interesting insight into the daily life of a 14th century housewife, and also has some good tips for those of us who might eventually aspire to have a kitchen garden. There are, however, some amusing points. My favorite of those was the following on pages 93 and 94: "I once heard of a virtuous young lady who was seated in a crowd of male and female friends. And by chance she said teasingly to the others: 'you are crowding me so much that at least half my cunt is wrinkled.' And although she said it in fun and among her friends, thinking she was gallant, nevertheless, in private the other wise young ladies blamed her parents." Why yes, I did giggle at the 'half my cunt is wrinkled' line.
