"Not many, if any, children's books on the Middle Ages and castles
contain the wealth of information found in this fresh, appealing
offering." -- School Library Journal (starred review)
What was it really like to live in a castle? Step back to the Middle
Ages with Castle Diary: the Journal of Tobias Burgess. Eleven-year-old
Toby's vivid diary entries offer an insider's view of day-to-day castle
life, including tips on etiquette (where do you spit at a feast?) and
exciting descriptions of hunting, jousting, and harvesting. Complete
with glossary, index, and detailed endnotes, this is a rich look at
medieval life that informs as much as it entertains.
