Review

The "'Ology" series is fantastic for readers who love to delve into a book. With sidebars, flaps, mini-books, illustrations, and a cover beset with "jewels," this 'Ology book about knights is no exception. The construct is that the publishers recieved a curious artifact, that of a chunk of stone in which was embedded the text of this book. Covering all things knight-related from Elizabethan times, the book will delight fans of this topic. Well-researched and covering much of the lore and legend of these chivalrous, brave, often doomed, heroes, readers will learn about the rules, training, armour, contests, feasts, and battles. Recommend for any collection that already has a readership for the series but be prepared to replace the book because with all of the flaps and glued binding, it will take a lot of abuse.

Overall Book Score: good
