Customer Review #1:
 Beautiful portrayal of Medieval life
The lord and and lady of Camdenton Manor are dismayed when they learn the King and his party are coming to stay with them, they know what a lot of work this will mean for everybody. Throughout the book you see everyone working like mad to get the manor ready in time. Delightful pictures show all the work involved in stocking up with food, hunting, fishing, harvesting, brewing, baking, men, women and children all joining in with the work. The pcitures are full of fascinating details of the lives of medieval people, nobles and commoners alike. Any child interested in history should enjoy this book, if you dont have a child, buy it for yourself. Warning: This is NOT a cookery book! (see first review)

Customer Review #3:
excellent history picturebook
This is a wonderful non-fiction history picturebook for children interested in Medieval times. Alikis illustrations reflect her thorough research and attention to detail. I love this book. My children pull it out from the book shelves over and over. They love to see a lord and lady and all their servants busily preparing a magnificent feast for the King and Queen who soon will be travelling through their land and resting at their Manor. Alikis illustrations and descriptions tell amazing amounts of information, herbs grown and used in Medieval times, the architecture, and characters wearing historically-accurate fashions. The pictures show tools, cookware, utensils, landscapes of the countryside, a brickoven, a flourmill with a waterwheel, livestock, a vineyard, a well, butterchurns, tapestries, wild animals caught for the feast, honeybeehives, vegetable gardens, and all of the servants and the lord and lady busily preparing for the king and queens arrival. This little book is an excellent illustrated resource.I read a review about this book given by another amazon customer who bought the book looking for recipes. Because the customer ordered without reading the description of the book first, she was disappointed to find that she had actually ordered a non-fiction history book for children. I am annoyed that this customer decided to rate this book with one star because she mis-ordered. The title isnt misleading, it describes exactly what the book is about, a medieval feast. Its wonderful.
