excellent!

(5 Sterne)

This perfectly read literature had me addicted from beginning to end. It provides an in depth viewcof life from every aspect in the ancient city of York in England. At time it felt like I was there! fantastic! a great education and thoroughly immersive entertainment for the bed time listener such as myself!

really nice descriptions easily understood and for those who have not gotten into politics, when he refers to "the corporation" he is referring to a city or community using civil law

informative and entertaining
