As part of Library Declutter of 2024, I read through this before sending it to my great-nephews. This was one of my son's favorites in elementary school. The whole DK Eyewitness line (more than 10 books so far) is a great way to interest children in history, science, and natural history because of the use of many artefact photographs and graphic images to illustrate the topics thoroughly, like a virtual visit to a museum. Homeschool progams would benefit from them as enrichment. Adults will appreciate the visual feast, as well. The books in the series are great gifts for children when they discover a new interest. Even middle schoolers won't feel they are too childish because of the format and aesthetic.
Fantastic images, pictures, and description text, great content suitable for wide range of ages.
Good pictures and reference information about what life was really like for a knight in medieval times, covering battles to banquets and jousting to hunting.
