The author seemed very taken with the period and the characters, and i got to see the French monarchy pass from almost rendered irrevelant to amassing power, all through the eyes of the Duke of Orleans and other characters. His poetry was very interesting, would have liked to see more. But we are lucky to even have access to this book, thanks to the efforts described in the preface. Have to add that the spelling errors and apparent printing errors are numerous. This Duke was a most interesting person. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “No man escapes his destiny.” *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2015* There’s nothing better than curling up with a historical classic this time of year and believe me In a Dark Wood Wandering: A Novel of the Middle Ages is considered a classic for a reason. Told in brilliant vivid prose this novel weaves pivotal events from the late 14th and 15th centuries to create a rich tapestry of characters, imagination and dedication to history and precise details that may leave the reader saying “they don’t write books like this anymore”. A little patience is asked of those who desire to experience this strong tale of intricate destinies, courtly intrigues and passionate storytelling though. It may not be for everyone and to modern eyes and sensibilities could be considered too much of a challenge for many to finish (but can be well worth it if the reader is persistent enough), there are parts toward the end that unfortunately wander down too many pathways of dry rustling pages of the central character’s daily life while the world snaps and burns outside his private walls and it can be very easy to hope for another view to appear. There is also a noticeable switch of enthralling drama and action to subdued philosophical thoughts and rambling themes that can confuse and disappoint some towards the end also. Still overall if any reader who enjoyed  The Accursed Kings series by Maurice Druon  or  Katherine by Anya Seton  desires more perfect examples of committed fiction or a worthy literary challenge, I think you will be pleased with In a Dark Wood Wandering: A Novel of the Middle Ages. I know I was and can’t wait for my next step back into history with another understated title and hidden gem of literary entertainment. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely wonderful historical fiction *by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2013* This is an absolutely fascinating historical trip through the Hundred Years War between France and England. This is not an easy read (I had to make notes in margins and occasionally refer to a reference), but what a delight. Reading this is like finishing a hard, sweaty, but very fulfilling workout.The accuracy of this book seems very reliable based on the reference sources that I used in reading it. The characters are historically accurate. At the same time, the author manages to put life into what textbook simply portray as dry historical characters. There are few fictional characters who can be as memorable as the royalty of England and France. Crazy King Charles, his bizarre wife Isabeau, the child brides, the haughty Duke of Burgandy, and then throw in Joan of Arc -- what a mixture! One can't make that stuff up. The pain, frustration, anxiety, and fear of those thrown into the path of history based on their birth is so vividly portrayed. It's a world different from ours, but yet human nature remains the same.Reading this puts our modern day political messes in perspective. For those that believe times have never been worse, haven't lived in the Middle Ages.For anyone seriously interested in the Middle Ages or otherwise loves good historical fiction. This is it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/30875802-in-a-dark-wood-wandering-a-novel-of-the-middle](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/30875802-in-a-dark-wood-wandering-a-novel-of-the-middle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
