Woo-hoo! Some good library news for a change!

Some  good news has come out of the library rubble of woes lately.  Yesterday, when browsing one of my local branches, I found a copy of Elizabeth Chadwick's The Greatest Knight, her recent biographical fiction about William Marshal.  It's not that new, I guess, but it was recently reissued -- in the US -- in paperback, and our local system obtained a copy.  This, after I won the same paperback version, by writing a reply to a blog about it.  Haven't gotten around to reading it though.  So many books, so little time.  Anyway, it's not all gloom and doom there.

A nice medieval post

Over at Elizabeth Chadwick's Living the History , there's a nice little article, with some nifty photos(from a "recreated" tournament), about William Marshal. He was an important figure in the "earlier" Middle Ages in England, and his life was quite colorful, among other things. Those interested in medieval history will probably want to read this.
