A year in the life of a peasant woman in medieval England is vividly evoked in this extraordinary portrait of Marion, a carpenter’s wife, and her extended family. Based on years of research, Ann Baer brings to life the reality of a world that has been lost.
Ann Baer was born in April 1914, and was a Director of the fine art publishers Ganymed Press, alongside her husband Bernhard. Previously, she attended Chelsea School of Art before working as a civil servant during the Second World War. She hand-illustrated Medieval Woman, and has maintained a lifelong interest in medieval England.
[A] month-by-month account of a medieval woman's life, completely
persuasive and ringing with truth. If a medieval peasant woman had
ever written a diary it would be like this.
