Reviews

Medieval Pets is a highly accessible and digestible look at one small slice of medieval life.
*STUDIES IN MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE TEACHING*

A delightful read for anyone interested in the history of pet-keeping, human-animal relations in general, and identity construction in later medieval Europe.
*MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGY*

A useful addition to a growing body of specialist literature, and in addition, anyone who has ever owned a pet will find it fascinating.
*REVIEWS IN HISTORY*

A novel and comprehensive survey. [...] Not only a milestone in the history of our obsession with pets, but also furthers our understanding of the complexity of human-animal relations in the past.
