This classic historical work by Eva March Tappan, Ph.D., a prolific American educator and author known for making history accessible to young readers, provides an engaging look into the customs, culture, and daily life of the medieval period. Published by George G. Harrap & Company, this specific 1928 printing is part of the "Told Through the Ages" series and features numerous black-and-white illustrations, maps, and a frontispiece depicting an English knight. The book explores a wide range of topics, from jousts and tournaments to trade routes and medieval justice. The book is in fair to good vintage condition for its age; the brown cloth-covered boards feature decorative gilt and blind-stamped detailing with some light bumping to the corners and spine ends. Internally, the pages show age-toning, particularly on the title and preliminary pages, but the binding remains secure and the text and illustrations are clear throughout.
