Medieval Britain: A Very Short Introduction by Ralph A. Griffiths, John Gillingham

5.0

An excellent overview of the period in question. I love the "Very Short Introduction" books as a springboard for finding out about different eras, and this was no exception. Don't come in expecting detail (e.g the section on Matilda and Stephen stretched to just a page or two), but for a good summary of the key events and a helpful reading list at the back focusing on all the different themes mentioned.
