Category Description for Medieval World Series

The Medieval times or Middle Ages seem to hold great fascination for most people. It seems like such a different lifestyle from the one that we are used to and take for granted. Just the idea of kings, knights, tournaments, lords and ladies, great feasts, and more seems more like movies than real life! Children will love these books that let them immerse themselves in the Medieval Times and learn about daily life, what homes were like, how society worked, what was involved in being a knight or a noble, and much more. These books are packed full of fascinating and useful information, excellent illustrations, artwork, maps, timelines, and even information about what was going on in other cultures during these time periods. ~ Megan
