I Wonder Why Castles Had Moats and Other Questions About Long Ago by Philip Steele
Children are fascinated by the world around them, and why is a favourite word. This series takes as its starting point this natural desire to understand the world, and then feeds it with text and illustrations designed both to entertain and to inform. This book focuses on everyday life in the Middle Ages, from why kings and queens wore crowns, and knights armour, to why artists broke eggs.
