Customer Reviews

Ever wonder what life for a knight would be like?

I would strongly reccomend Knights for any kid or teen who would like to learn more about knights and the culture of the middle ages. The book contains colorful pictures and is very easy to read. It also contains interesting facts like: when knights were putting horse shoes on their horses for battle they would leave some of the nails sticking out of the hooves in order to injure enemies. Rachel Firth did an excellent job capturing knights and life in the middle ages and I would definatly give this bood two thumbs up! -Caitlin L.

knights: a review

After reading the book "Knights" I had a better understanding of the history of knights and the Middle Ages. This book covers who knights were, what equipment they used, what their lives were like, etc. Though I think this book was directed towards a younger audience, it would be a great reference source for any research project or report. -Grant
