Knight's Handbook by Sam Taplin
From holding lances to courtly dances, this is the ultimate guide for the novice knight, covering everything from sieges to swordplay, feasts to fights and crusades to courtly love. Written in a lively, humorous and engaging style, this book is packed with a wealth of fascinating and informative historical detail that brings the period of medieval knights and valour vividly to life. Wittily illustrated by Ian McNee, this is the handbook that every chivalrous young knight will want to have tucked in his chainmail.
Sam Taplin grew up in a beautiful valley in Yorkshire, where he dreamed of being a writer, and after three years reading other people's books at university he started writing his own for Usborne. He's been doing it ever since. When he's not writing about lonely rabbits or inquisitive bears, he likes doing card tricks, writing songs and playing long games of chess by the fire.
