Synopsis

This book is part of a series designed to encourage young children's interest in the past. The illustrations show the children the styles of dress and architecture of the period. The text unravels the human adventure from prehistoric times to today's exploration of space. The story of "The Middle Ages" begins in the fields at harvest times, with the peasants hard at work on their master's land. Meanwhile in the monastery, the monks are seen copying and illustrating books.With the development of towns, merchants grew in wealth and power, and they traded with lands near and far. Meanwhile, the king and his nobles were laying the foundations on which today's legal system is built. The scene closes with a master mason overseeing the building of a new cathedral. Roger Coote has written a number of other Firefly titles including those in the "My World" and "Journeys" series. She has acted as language adviser and consultant on a large number of children's books.
