I Believe in Yesterday: My Adventures in Living History

I am not sure how I ended up with five Tim Moore books in my shelves (physical shelves that is). This is the third I have read, and it seems I like the idea of his books a lot more than his actual books.
This one - honestly, I read it so I can remove it from my shelf and replace it with something more promising!

It isn't that this is poorly written or completely disinteresting, or has any significant faults - it is just not really my sort of book. Tim Moore, in this one, spends time with the people of historical re-enactments from the Iron Age, the Romans, the Vikings, the Middle Ages, the Tudors, the Pioneers (USA) and finally the US Civil War.

As so we meet all manner of mostly nice, mostly well meaning, mostly having fun, mostly fairly dull people and their re-enactment events, generally resulting the author being shown up by more exuberant youths and middle aged men with beards who just want to use re-enactments to satisfy their violent needs (with axes/swords etc). Some amusing situations are scattered through as the author travels from age to age and country to country to meet up with these groups. Tim Moore attended several re-enactments in Britain but also traveled on to Copenhagen (Denmark), Toulouse (France) and of course the USA.

2.5 stars, rounded up.
