    About this ebook

    The Renaissance Survival Guide is a irreverent, yet fact-based guide to the many aspects of the modern Renaissance Faire.
    It covers subjects such as Pirates, Renaissance Music, and many others, investigating and discussing the 'periodicity' of such subjects and the validity of their subsequent inclusion in the modern Renfest.
