About this product

Product Information

Everything from alchemy to the Crusades is covered in this entertaining and informative book, from 'Who built castles?','Where did everyone sleep?' and 'What's a lady's favour?' to the more obscure 'Did they have baths?' and 'Did they have toilet paper?'Philip Ardagh has a passion for history. During his numerous children's events over the years, he has been asked just about every conceivable question about castles and life in medieval times. Here he answers his favourite (printable) ones, in a similar style that made his book Did Dinosaurs Snore? a monster hit with pre-history fans. There are black-and-white illustrations throughout as well as fascinating fact boxes and quick quizzes to test what you have learned. The reference section includes timelines, and a glossary and index. With its simple question-and-answer format, this book should satisfy the appetite of even the most castle-inquisitive reader. If the answer doesn't lie somewhere between these covers, then it probably isn't a castle question worth asking.
