(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Chris Riddell. Eleven-year-old Tobias records his experiences serving as a page. During his first year at Strandborough Castle, Toby goes on a hunt, attends a feast, and helps with the harvest. The text contains interesting details of medieval life, but the diary format serves mainly as a vehicle for supplying historical information. The illustrations reveal both individual character and a broader view of medieval life in detailed double-page spreads. Bib., glos., ind.
