The Black Death by Brian Williams
This colourfully illustrated book recalls the history, the horrors, and the heroism encountered when a mysterious plague struck Britain in 1348-49. With one third of the population wiped out by a disease so swift that neither prayer nor potions could check its progress, this was indeed catastrophe on a nationwide scale which shook the very foundations of feudal society. Look out for more Pitkin Guides on the very best of British history, heritage and travel.
