Book Reviews of Clothing in the Middle Ages (Medieval World)
Book Review: It's a kid's book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I put this on my wish-list thinking it was a costuming book, when in actuality it a children's book on medieval dress. No help to me in my reenacting, but it has some excellent, accurate information in it that's not biased against medieval people, like a lot of general or children's medieval books (like "medieval people didn't love their children" and "medieval people never bathed"). In fact, it specifically talks about medieval soap!
Great book for your medieval kiddie, but don't slip up as I did and get it for yourself!
Summary of Clothing in the Middle Ages (Medieval World)
This work is for ages 7-14. For nobles in the Middle Ages, clothing was a symbol of power and status. Their clothes were costly, made of beautiful material and encrusted with jewellery. Peasants wore work clothes made of coarser material. Young readers will be fascinated by this new book that features fashions from the days of knights and ladies. Topics include: making fabrics; peasants' clothing; trade, towns, and textiles; fabrics from far away; style in towns; a noble's clothing; children's clothing; protected by armour; dressed for prayer; clothing in other cultures; hygiene; beauty.General Books
