Farndon, John The Middle Ages: New Conquests and Dynasties,
32 pages. NON-FICTION. Hungry
Tomato (Lerner), 2018. $20.
This book picks up from where the Rise of Civilization book
leaves off –with the Middle Age and ends with the Age of Explorers in the
1500s. It touches on Knights and Castles, Vikings, and much more. Pages are presented
as world map with facts and figures strewn throughout.
If a student could get past the busy and unappealing cover
and there were in interested in the middle ages –they would enjoy reading
through all the tiny facts in this book. That being said, I think students
would rather go for a DK middle ages book or one features a knight or Viking in
action. I do like that this book touches on other parts of the world besides Europe
and the achievements of those people. I have an entire shelf full of middle
ages books, so I don’t think I would add this one.
