What are castles and knights? Cover Image Book

What are castles and knights? / by Sarah Fabiny ; illustrated by Dede Putra.

Fabiny, Sarah, (author.). Putra, Dede (Illustrator), (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Castles may conjure up a romantic fairy tale world; however, in real life, during the Middle Ages, castles were fortresses, providing shelter and protection for the lord as well as for the peasants who lived on his land. For an army, a lord depended on young soldiers in armor called knights who spent years at the castle learning the skills of warfare"-- Provided by publisher.
