Shoes and Pattens
Charting precisely the progress of shoe fashions between the 12th and 15th centuries this is another must have for costume designers, archaeologists and historians.
Shoes and Pattens
Until recently, very little was known about medieval shoes. Glimpses in manuscript illustrations and on funerary monuments, with the occasional reference by a contemporary writer, was all that the costume historian had as evidence, not least because leather tends to perish after prolonged contact with air, and very few actual examples survived. In recent years, however, nearly 2,000 shoes, many complete and in near-perfect condition, have been discovered preserved on the north bank of the Thames, and are now housed in the Museum of London. This collection, all from well-dated archaeological contexts, fills this vast gap in knowledge, making it possible to chart precisely the progress of shoe fashion between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries.

This collection has been made in an endeavor to meet this need, and thus to be of service to parents, teachers, and librarians.Most of the stories and poems in this book are of the legendary type. They have been chosen from a wide variety of sources and represent the work of many writers. There are other stories also, which, although not strictly traditional, have the same reverent spirit and illustrate traditional beliefs and customs. These have been included for their literary value and their interest for young people.In the arrangement of the selections we have followed the natural order of the events in preference to grouping the stories for boys and girls of different ages.Although no attempt has been made to adapt the legends for story-telling, most of them may be used for that purpose. Many of the selections are also well suited for reading aloud.Above all it is hoped that this book may bring real joy to the boys and girls for whom it has been compiled...
