商品簡介
Once upon a time there was a cartoon about King Arthur: the plot concerned modern-day football players who were magically transported back in time by Merlin to replace the mysteriously absent Knights of the Round Table. If educators or parents prefer that children receive a less distorted version of Middle Ages history, Barnhouse (English, Youngstown State University) has written a book filled with suggestions. There are 13 chapters, each dealing with a subject from the Middle Ages. In the chapter on the Vikings, for example, Barnhouse offers assessments of books written for children and teenagers about the Vikings. There are two additional chapters containing a list of professional resources for educators, and some suggested classroom activities. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
