DK eyewitness books are some of the greatest non-fiction books around. The distinctive white background and high-quality photography gives this book an edge over any other nonfiction picture book. And -- these pictures are real! They're beautiful museum-quality photos of all things related to knights, accompanied by informative captions and text.

Learn about medieval life, knights, armor, etc. If you know someone (young or old) who is fascinated by medieval times and knights, then you must introduce them to this book!

It was pretty good, but it was kind of showing out of the knight period. They wrote a lot about castles and it was titled knights. This bothered me. I really liked how it showed what a knight has as his duty.

My 10 year old son is fascinated with all things midevil. This book shows the armor, weopons, and lifestyle of knights. The photos are excellent and the copy is interesting. Your child may need a little help with some of the vocabulary.

I own several books from the Eyewitness Series and I am imprssed with them all. Why weren't these used as textbooks when I was in elementary school :)

The pictures are quite vivid and there is so much content inside the book. You WILL come away with a greater knowledge and better appreciation of history of knighthood!

Two bonuses I guess I overlooked in the description are a clip art CD, which has some of the pictures from the book, and a poster. The book itself is a series of pictures with descriptions organized by time period, activities, and such.

great book about Knight hood , great ilustrations and photographs , clip art cd and poster are a great add on , Highly recomend it, also The Eyewitness Medieval and Vikings are also great companion gives a complete perpective about the medieval ages .

I purchased this for my son who is 8 years old. He loves it. The package is nicely design with
several pockets to hold everything (books, map, and a small paper model).
My only complaint is the paper used for paper castle model is too thin.

This is NOT just a book! I misunderstood and thought it seemed rather expensive for a book, but it's a whole boxed set, including the book, punch out cards to make a mini-castle....and lots more! I sent it with my son to his baby sitter, and she asked him to bring it back the next day, because SHE wasn't done looking at it!! GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!!!

This book was purchsed for our great-granddaughter who is interested in all things concerning knights, castles and living in those times. She did not have any eyewitness books and loves it. She is a good reader, but is not bogged down by reading long description, on lots of pages. This is perfect for a 8,9, or ten yr old and I love them too. Tons of information, and great pictures. Wonderful book

Eyewitness vividly explains the life and times of those "knights in shining armor". These books not only hold the short attention span of young children, they thoroughly engross adults as well! Eyewitness gives the most complete information in the most interesting format - ALWAYS!
