Knights of Avalon

 

Creating Miniature Knights  by Peter Greenhill and Mario Venturi

 Peter Greenhill’s and Mario Venturi’s new book " Creating Miniature knights " I think its magnificent. 

The book gives great insight into the depth of research that goes into producing such wonderfully  accurate model knights. It explores the world of Heraldry and Crests and how these were very important in battle, about the unwritten law of " class to class" warfare.

This book is full of pictures of model knights, but is also full of written facts about the knights war. 

The coverage of the battles of Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt in diorama and the discussion on armour, heraldry is excellent. The printing and design are the same excellent quality as their previous books "Heraldic Miniature Knights" and "Montaperti la battagfia nef diorama" 

 These small pictures do not do the book justice, but give some idea of its content and quality.
