This fascinating book combines the creative fun of coloring with an
exciting sense of discovery as it realistically portrays many facets of
life during the Middle Ages, one of history's most dramatic and eventful
periods. Forty-two authentically detailed drawings depict daily
activities in castle, village, monastery, field, and forest, evoking the
excitement and pageantry of tournaments, sieges, banquets, battles, and
fairs. Whether the illustrations depict a lord playing chess with his
son or a peddler selling his wares, the true look and feel of medieval
life comes through, from architectural details to the particulars of
dress at all levels of society.
