Helps you find out about dreadful dungeons, cruel crusaders, ghastly ghosts that haunt creepy British castles, and the most famous man-in-a-can of all – Saint George. This title also shows you: Why the nutty knight chopped off his own finger? The revolting truth about a gong-farmer’s job? What went on in the gruesome castle garderobes?

I enjoyed reading this book. It has lots of interesting facts inn, like a gong farmer was someone who emptied the toilet pits of castles, and the lance was invented in AD about 1000 in France. The illustrations are very detailed, and it is very funny.

This book was fun to read and also educational! My favourite fact is that some prizes for the tournaments were women! People who like history (with a bit of comedy) will like this book!
