Nice book

This book provides a nice overview of medieval times, concentrating on knights and castles. It is full of color illustrations and pictures such as cut-away drawings of castles, town markets, the castle kitchen,and fashions of noblemen. Every other page has a full-page or nearly full-page illustration of some sort. The pages are also jam-packed with text explaining the little details that make history engaging. This would be a wonderful supplement for a study of the middle ages. Chapters include: The Age of Chivalry Fortress Homes Castle Life Ready for Battle
