Peruse this lavish novelty volume and be surprised.</b> <p/>From the secret order of Round Table Knights comes a tell-all guide to the mythical occupation of knighthood -- its history, mysterious quests, and puzzles that live on to this day. Inspired by the life of a most exemplary knight, this fascinating book explores the art of mastering sword and lance, the essential (and prohibitively expensive) war-horse, the ins and outs of a castle that a knight might defend, and the skills needed to prevail in a jousting tournament, with all its pageantry. No investigation of knighthood would be complete without a look at the Crusades, and a celebration of legendary knights such as King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, and Sir Gawain, plus vaunted icons such as Excalibur and the Holy Grail. In true 'Ology fashion, this tip of the lance to a noble (and misunderstood) profession offers a variety of interactive flaps and other novelties to keep young squires fully entertained.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Would-be young squires will get basic lowdowns on knights of both yore--particularly William Marshall, a warrior of the 12th and 13th centuries who served five English kings--and lore, knightly training, chivalric behavior, jousting, and select early Crusades.<br>--Kirkus Reviews<br>
