Journey to the Middle Ages, when brave knights roamed the land, defending the property of their lords and the honor of their ladies. In the characteristic tradition that has made her the "master of nonfiction for children," Gail Gibbons describes the skills needed to become a knight and provides detailed illustrations for the armor and weaponry. Includes stories of Sir Lancelot, Saint George, and many other famous knights --transporting readers to a time when chivalrous deeds were sung of throughout the land. P.b., 32 pgs., ages 4-8.
