The writing is very rich. I had never read the book and am now reading it aloud to my first grader. He is interested and listens well, but we have to stop and try to explain some things. He accepts a lot of me telling him that "I don't know what that means" because honestly there are many vocabulary words I don't know. I think we will end up reading it again and listening to the audiobook. But, I am thoroughly enjoying the book and my son asks for it. A person can learn a lot about castle life, knights, and old style hunting, hawking, etc. in this book. It's very insightful. As an adult, I would thoroughly enjoy reading this book just for myself.
