Medieval Life

This fact-filled book focuses on the Middle Ages of Europe--the era of great castles, the crusades, ocean travel and invention. Each page features richly detailed artwork which gives clear and accurate representations of the tools, weapons, clothing, and other artifacts of everyday life in the Middle Ages.

Take a tour of a medieval castle.

Every part of the castle has a function. Walls keep the enemy out. Towers protect the lord and the soldiers. From the moat and portcullis to the great hall and dungeon, see how a castle works as an enemy army tries to storm the walls.
