Book Description
This description of the splendours of Medieval celebrations tells of the foods, decorations, costumes, music and dance that adorned the customary Medieval feasts. Detailed information is provided on the 12 major festivals, one for each month of the year, that ranged from Twelfth Night and St Valentine's Day to Michaelmas, Hallowwen and Christmas. The concluding chapters give practical instructions for making banners, decorations and costumes, and recipes including rose-petal bread, peppermint rice, lamb's wool cider and fruit fritters.
