About This Item
From back cover: "Castles are crumbly and romantic. They still hint at an age more colorful and gallant than our own, but are often debunked by boring people who like to run on about drafts and grumble that the latrines did not work. Joseph and Frances Gies offer a book that helps set the record straight - and keeps the romance too."
"The authors allow medieval man and woman to speak for themselves through selections from past journals, songs, even account books." - Time
Black and white photos and illustrations.
Very Good condition. Front and back covers have a few barely noticeable "dents". Very minimal edge and corner wear. The back bottom corner does show a tiny pit of wear. Text is clean and binding is tight. Spine is not cracked. Please use photos as part of the description.
272 pages including Bibliography and Index.
