Medieval LEGO

"Each event is succinctly described to keep interest, yet still be educational. And of course, what makes this book so fun, is that each event is coupled with a depiction of one or more scenes in LEGO assembled by a prolific builder." —Will James, GeekDad "This is maybe the geekiest book I've ever read—and I mean that mostly as a compliment. You can't go half-way if you're writing—and LEGO-modeling—a complete outline of Medieval British history, and by golly, Riley doesn't. A remarkably clear, concise history. I was particularly impressed." —Chicago Tribune Medieval LEGO is featured on Buzzfeed Books! A Medieval LEGO quiz is featured on the Times Educational Supplement. Look Inside!
