by David Nicolle
Relive the days of Chivalry with these fun cut-out knights! Volume 1 has authentic figures from the Crusades: 31 figures from the Christian armies of the west (the Franks), 10 figures from the Byzantine Empire and central Europe--allies (some of the time) of the Franks, and 27 figures of their Muslim foemen.
Children will find hours and hours of fun coloring each black and white figure, cutting them out, folding them so they will stand up, and then playing with them as their imaginations allow.
Author David Nicolle, the celebrated scholar of ancient arms, has spared no efforts of research in making these figures authentic. Each figure includes a brief paragraph--a historical note--related to the figure and written underneath his stand.
Educational fun for the little knights in your home!
