(2) K-3 Illustrated by S. D. Schindler. This picture book in verse depicts life in a medieval castle, the grandeur and filth, indulgence and hard work. Perspective shifts from person to person, earl to herald to servant. The text's humor and specific detail are echoed in Schindler's ornate pictures, done in the style of an illuminated manuscript. A closing note explains more about medieval life.
