Come to the Castle: A Visit to a Castle in Thirteenth-Century England

Linda Ashman

BEHIND THE SCENES IN A MEDIEVAL CASTLE

History comes alive in poetry and pictures.

Welcome to the 13th-century banquet at the castle of the Earl of Daftwood! Here young readers will meet all of the lords and ladies, the servants and the squires. They will discover surprises: flying silverware and mystery meat made of animal feet for dinner--life in the castle isn't always elegant. Linda Ashman's clever rhyming text and S.D Schindler's intricate illustrations look at life in a medieval castle from multiple eye-opening perspectives.
