The Third Crusade

by Kenneth Fenwick (editor), Raymond Hawthorn (Engravings)

An eye witness account of the campaigns of Richard Coeur-de-Lion in Cyprus and the Holy Land.

Marvellous colour engravings by Raymond Hawthorn. An anonymous chronicler wrote the original in French, possibly Ambois, a Norman trouvere who went with Richard on the Third Crusade. This edition is based on a translation made for the Bohn's Classical Library version in 1848. A vivid account, accompanied by wonderful illustrations.

Interesting historical perspective, very thorough, in my view.

Good book that appears written in the English of the times, which does cause some problems. Otherwise a good book.
