What was life like for ordinary people in the Middle Ages? Few books have answered that question more vividly than Montaillou by the French historian EMMANUEL LE ROY LADURIE. The book is a chronicle of life in a 14th-century village in the Pyrenees. The film is a portrait of Montaillou as it was in 1300 and as it is today. Readings MARTIN JARVIS and DENISE BRYER

David Attenborough in Selborne
When a prim 18th-century curate shouted at bees to see if they could hear or studied the sex life of earthworms by the light of a candle, he cannot have imagined that his observations on the wildlife of a Hampshire village would eventually be published in 200 editions and read all over the world.
In the lanes and beechwoods of Selborne David Attenborough goes on some of the journeys described by GILBERT WHITE in A Natural History of Selborne, and explains why to him it is in no way surprising that for two centuries this book has been one of the most well-loved in the English language.
