When we studied the Middle Ages, we watched Ivanhoe, even Phillip who was kinder at the time. He had just got a wooden sword and shield for Christmas, with a Richard the Lionhearted emblem on it. So he's sitting there in the chair, with his sword and shield. At one point, the soldiers are storming a monastary or castle or something. Phillip forgets himself, jumps up brandishing his sword, and yells, "FOR KING RICHARD!!!" I'll check my booklist to see what we read, but the Middle Ages was a hard period to find good books for. Augustine Came to Kent by Barbara Willard is good, about Pope Gregory sending Ausustine as a missionary to England. But that might be earlier than you're looking for. Are you doing Beowulf? Bethlehem Books (a company I really like!) has Beowulf the Warrior by Ian Serraillier. There's also If All the Swords in England, about Thomas Becket, also by Barbara Willard (though I've not read it!) She also did Son fo Charlemagne; I did read that one! Bethlehem Books have several others in your time frame, too.
I have Joan of Arc and it is a DK biography but it is by Kathleen Kudlinski and says it is a photographic story of a life.
Thanks Jackie! Some of those books I have sitting here. Gathering the literature that's listed with the Illuminations curriculum, and what's up there is what I don't have yet. Sitting here I do have Augustine Came to Kent, and Son of Charlemagne. If All the Swords in England is on my list up there. Ivanhoe sounds like fun! I'll have to figure out where it fits in; it might be on the supplements list already. Guess I should read that.... ROFL And I'll go look at Bethlehem Books also! Thanks!
I'll look it up! Thanks! I know there's another one on the early learner list, by Diane Stanley. We enjoyed her book on Cleopatra. But I'm thinking this might be one story we'll want to dig deeper with as well. Might wait a bit on this, because there's a few things I NEED first, but maybe! Thank you! ETA: Okay I looked it up and this looks great! How much do you want? PM me!
