Synopsis
This book is an early English morality play that uses a clever and entertaining format to introduce readers to basic concepts in natural philosophy, astronomy, and geography. Written during a time when few books existed in the English language on the topic and none aimed at a general audience, this book filled an important gap in education. Delivered in a lively, conversational format, this book begins with a lament about the lack of readable books on important subjects, not just frivolous topics, in English. It then goes on to introduce the main characters and proceeds to cover topics including the four elements (earth, air, water, and fire), the nature of the sun, moon, and stars, the division of the earth into hemispheres, and the existence of antipodes. The book is an excellent example of an early morality play, with its personification of elements such as Nature. Engaging and informative, this book provides valuable insight into medieval perceptions of science and the universe.
