Great series,

This review is from: If You Lived In The Days Of The Knights (Paperback)
I like this book better than the DK reader about Knights and Castles. It's a great format with good illustrations.
My reservation with this book is that is made the medieval centuries seem so homogenous -- fashions and political systems were not as permanent or as pervasive as this book indicates. How could they be? Feudalism was in place across a huge geographical area and life was different in diffent parts of the world and at different times under different rulers and nobles.

Love this series of books!,

I'm a homeschooler and my 8 year old son is studying American History this year. We have quite a few of the books from the "If You Lived..." series to go along with his studies, but when I saw this book I knew he would love it. These books are well written and entertaining. My son reads these himself or asks me to read them to him for fun rather than "school."
