Both authoritative and beautifully told, The Middle Ages is the full story of the thousand years between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance—a time that saw the rise of kings and emperors, the flowering of knighthood, the development of Europe, the increasing power of the Catholic Church, and the advent of the middle class.

Like your British grandfather telling stories by the fire. There are no notes or references, so who knows how accurate this is, but Bishop's a good storyteller.
A nice conscise history of the Middle Ages. The book covers chivalry, religion, philosophy, society, etc.
Excellent broad overview of the period approaches thematically. The reader brings a welcome light hearted touch to the text which makes it that much more enjoyable.
This is an easy read, not an academic work. It’s also not a chronological account of the middle ages, but an episodic biography.Most of this appealed to me, except Chapters 8 (the Life of Thought) & 9 (focuses on art & music). That’s just my taste, though, & not a reflection on the author’s writing.Worth a read if you’re interested in the middle ages, unless you need something more scholarly.
