A Medieval Castle (Daily Life)

Review
Book Report : "A good place for beginning research, these books are usable as well for students who have difficulty with reading. Middle school and junior high media specialists will find these a welcome addition to their collections for their struggling readers. Recommended."
-- Book Report (September 2002)
School Library Journal : "They do have a simple attractive format that makes them accessible to young audiences. Even in these brief introductions, the author avoids judging these ancient societies by modern-day values. Full-color photos, maps, and reproductions are plentiful and add interest to the texts."
-- School Library Journal (September 2002)
School Library Journal : "Befitting the series title, the book gives a personalized version of this historical movement and the cultural and political elements of the time are firmly in the background."
-- School Library Journal (September 2002)
School Library Journal : "The author presents his information clearly without fictionalizing, and offers some first-person accounts by period writers. The layout is clear and logical. An informative introduction that will have some appeal for reluctant readers."
-- School Library Journal (July 2002)

Book Description
The remains of great castles loom throughout Europe -- symbols of the Middle Ages. Medieval castles were homes to lords and ladies and their families, but they were also fortresses. This book describes castle life, from food to entertainment, and the roles and responsibilities of important members of the castle community. It also examines how castles were attacked and defended.
