About The Book

Cross the moat, pass through the gatehouse and dodge flying arrows as you journey back in time on a search-and-find history adventure!

Blaze the Dragon guides you through the fascinating world of medieval times – where lords, ladies and even wizards roam. Discover how castles were built, how knights fought and the secrets of magic and medicine.

From the grand fortress of Dragon Castle to the bustling castle kitchens, the dark dungeon and beyond the castle walls to noble hunting grounds, there are 12 illustrated scenes to search, and ten medieval characters to spot in every location.

Written by a real castle steward and told by a real dragon, this book will spark curiosity in the youngest squires.
