Knights & Castles (Discovery)

Enter a world of romance and adventure, of hardship and battle, and fight your way in between a hail of arrows to discover the world inside a castle under siege. Meet the humble laundry maid, the elegant lady, the blacksmith sweating in his forge, and the young squire learning to joust and fight. The projects are all presented in specially commissioned step-by-step photography, making them simple to follow either at home or in the classroom. They are exciting and fun as well as educational, and the practical activity brings history to life as well as placing it in context. For all children aged 8-12 years.
