Would you like to spend a whole year in a real medieval castle?
Learn how to shoot a bow and walk on stilts?
Visit a jousting tournament and feast at a banquet?
Tobias Burgess will tell you everything a page, a future knight, needs to know and be able to do!
The world of medieval England has been brought to life by the wonderful artist Chris Riddell. His detailed illustrations will transport the reader to Strandborough Castle and show the lives of its inhabitants in every detail.
"Knight's Diary" kicks off the "Historical Diaries" series. The next books in the series are "Pirate Diary," "Egyptian Diary," and "Roman Diary." For "Pirate Diary," artist Chris Riddell received the Kate Greenaway Medal, which is awarded to the best illustrators of children's books.
The young page tells the story of his own life in the form of diary entries. New friends and discoveries await him. The book concludes with a brief historical overview of the era, complete with detailed black-and-white drawings.
For middle-school children.
