Comments on: The last couple of (scattered) weeks http://www.susanwisebauer.com/blog/the-raving-writer/the-last-couple-of-scattered-weeks/ my progress as I write, revise, send to my editor, re-revise, fact-check, galley-read, and promote a multi-volume history of the world. While living on a farm, educating my kids, and teaching. And doing a few other things too. Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:35:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Michael D.

As soon as I saw The History of the Medieval World was out I bought it without a second thought. They way you present history with mythical accounts, archaeological evidence as well as with references to modern popular culture makes me feel linked to the past in a way I've never felt before. Thank you for the incredible gift of your writing! Writers like you and Jared Diamond have made history one of my favorite subjects! Susan,

You present History as I enjoy to experience it! (And, I like the witticisms - "... apparently unable to think of a better solution, invited the Quadi king to a banquet and murdered him". Nice touch!) Mrs. Bauer;

As with your first, it is so tremendously educational, entertaining, funny, and insightful that in some ways I wish I had waited until all four were finished so I didn't have to wait another few years for volume three. I look forward to my girls getting a little older so I can introduce them to the History for the Classical Child series.
