- Summary:
- "Ann Baer has produced a sensitive, knowledgeable month-by-month account of the hardships suffered by Marion and Peter Carpenter, set from March through the following February of one year of their struggle for existence in Medieval England.... Ann Baer has given the world an immeasurable gift with the writing of Down the Common. Her attention to detail paints a crystal clear picture of the pain, the beauty of nature, and the steadfastness of people to whom each day was unceasing toil." -- The Midwest Book Review
- A selection of the History Book Club and the Book-of-the-Month Club, Down the Common celebrates the daily life of one woman in the lost world of Medieval England.
