## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best juvenile book on the topic. As informative as some "overview" books meant for adults.
*by O***N on March 30, 2015*

A great book with some of the best illustrations ever! Interesting and absorbing for adults as well. The book is a bit advanced for younger children but the pictures will capture their attention as it is read to them; serving to stimulate the development of their own reading skills. The stirring battle scenes and the accurate pictorial and written descriptions of medieval weaponry are first rate. This is not an antiseptic "knights and fair ladies" story book. It's actually quite raw and realistic in it's portrayal of both medieval warfare and everyday life during this period.Although focusing on warfare (though not exclusively) and primarily written for boys, many girls (and women) will also enjoy the book, since it's historically accurate and depicts medieval women and the fashions of the time to a limited extent. The color illustrations and black and white drawings (all illustrations are by the author) provide vivid images for young and old imaginations. The book is comprehensive as well, covering the period from the "Dark Ages" up until the early Renaissance. I remember taking this book out of the library numerous times as a kid until I bought a copy with my snow shoveling money. A true masterpiece.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book! Excellent Illustrations
*by R***R on September 1, 2023*

Like many books by Coggins, I remember loving this book when I was in elementary school, where it was in the library. Now, over 50 years later I decided to hunt down a copy. Pleased to have found one (and an ex-library copy to boot ...).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Children's Intro to Knights!
*by S***E on March 1, 2015*

I love this book. When going through old family boxes in storage, I found my old hardback copy from childhood literally falling apart. I was simultaneously upset and overjoyed, and immediately went on Amazon to see if it was still available. It was, and I bought it immediately. My only disappointment is that it is softcover.The text is good, but the pictures are wonderful. This was the stuff of dreams for me as a boy growing up and just starting to learn history. I recommend it highly for any parent who wants to introduce his children to these fascinating warriors of yesteryear.
