  “My absolute favorite "browsing" book of short biographies of important figures in the Middle Ages. Fines treats his subjects with respect, but also with a sort of wry humor that often makes me grin while I'm reading. Whenever I can't sleep at night but am not in the mood for a full-fledged novel or biography, this is the book that I repeatedly pluck off the shelf to keep me company.
  
  Each entry includes a bibliographic note or two at the end, that I have found helpful in pursuing a deeper study of those historical characters that have particularly struck my fancy”
