The iconic eyewitness is back in a new and improved format to be passed down through the generations.

Throughout the pages of this newly revised book on knights, you can expect to find:
  • A fresh new look; new photographs, updated information, and “eyewitness” accounts from experts in the field.
  • A visual tour through the topic combined with bite-sized text.

Eyewitness Knight introduces children to the world of the medieval horseback warrior and how they lived. Children can learn what knights wore into battle and enter a gallery of swords and other weapons that were an important part of a knight's armory.
