Castle Diary

Resumen del libro

The chatty narrative convincingly draws the reader in...This book makes you sorry to reach the end...A really funny and informative read for any age."The Sunday Tribune

What was it really like to live in a castle during the Middle Ages? This book gives the answer! Sent to his uncle's castle for a year to learn to be a page, ten-year-old Toby keeps a detailed journal of everything that happens there - from such great events as a boar hunt and a tournament to more everyday activities like baking bread and cleaning out the garderobes (toilets). The book also contains a reference section covering castle-building and use, armour and weapons, heraldry and the feudal system -plus a full glossary and index. For any child who loves castles, this is a must!
