This book compares two medieval weddings-noble & peasant. Mr. Lasker utilized paintings or pictures drawn by artists during this time period to inspire and guide his own illustrations. A wonderfully unique book!
Considerations: peasant woman nurses her baby-the reader can see the top portion of her breast-very minimal; the merry making involves drunkenness, fighting, & wildness-readers see people passed out!
*Highly recommend-readers will learn a lot about this time period & customs through this engaging book but see the considerations.
-I own this book. I bought it used (via order online). Unfortunately the spine is brittle. I am afraid with a few more readings it will fall apart.
