Lovely coloring book-exactly what you would expect from Bellerophon. I copy the pictures for younsters to color and they have spent many hours making up a story to go along with the picture as they color.

I like this series of coloring books as wonderful line drawing references for use in art....they are fun and meditative to color with colored pencils as well when you are in a funk.

This book has many classic medieval illustrations that are very cool.

Great coloring & history book! I Love the Middle Ages!!!

I was disappointed with the simple, comic-like drawings in this book. I found more detailed, real-life, and accurate pictures by doing a simple online search. This book is used for a home school curriculum we use (History Odyssey), and I had decided to buy another, similar coloring book (Middle Ages from Dover Coloring) instead of this one. After a few weeks of trying to find similar pictures in the other book, I gave up and ordered this one. The pictures, which are drawings of actual art from the Middle Ages, aren't horrible (except the one of Charlemagne; who drew that one, a 12 year old?) but they aren't that great either. ( Maybe that's just the way Middle Ages pictures are...?) My kids like the book, so I will use it, but I won't waste my money again on a coloring book before trying an image search online.

It's not as great as some of the Dover coloring books I've bought, as far as the graphics, but it's okay and serves the purpose.
