Local Description1999. A very good copy with lightly rubbed spine ends, light sun fading of the spine and a remainder dot on the top edge. The d/w is unclipped and fine and now in a protective cover. DescriptionIn the year 1000 the world was one of mystery and magicians, monks, warriors and wandering merchants - people who feared an apocalypse and people who had no idea what year it was or what lay beyond the nearest valley. It was a world of dark forests and Viking adventures in which fear was real and death a constant companion. People felt they walked hand-in-hand with God, and envisaged him so literally that even Christians were sometimes buried with supplies for the journey to the new life in heaven. |
