A lovely juvenile book about how a boy in the 1400s becomes a knight. Written at about 2nd grade level, but enjoyable for adults to read! Lovely watercolor illustrations on every page. Grades 1-4

Great book that explains with simple but accurate words the life of a little boy destined to become a knight. The children will identify easily with the main character and have a pretty complete picture of life during the Middle Ages. Good ilustrations that go well with the texts. Great for children 3 to 8.

Bargain priced at a mere $[...] U.S. dollars (read- worth trillions in third world currency), this is the best book I've yet read on knights and knighthood, as the illustrated pictures give you an idea of what it was like going to the quest to become a knight withoutb the library style ones from the 80s to today with expensive full plate armor getting in the way that knights are somehow macho. You start out as a young page and when you're a teenager you become a squire until you're at least 26 years old you can enter early knighthood and be part of the royal family. That knights were somehow macho is a bit mishappen- this has full details of a young page who becomes a squire to the full plate armor required of tournament knights to joust and duel. On rare instances when knights have children, if it was a boy it would be a squire who become a knight himself eventually.
