Most historians agree that the Carolingian Age, from the 8th to 10th centuries AD, represented one of the most important turning points in European history. It can be said with some certainty that early Carolingian military success was built on good leadership, adequate administration, and troops whose morale was almost consistently superb. It is also clear that the Carolingian army managed to adapt itself to face many and differing foes. This absorbing text by David Nicolle explores the organisation and history of the Carolingian Empire during the age of one of history's most romanticised and heroic figures - Charlemagne.
This is a great Christmas book for children. I read the book every year to my first graders. I stop during the book and have the children 'create' ways to help Molly get Santa out of the chimney. The ending is 'magical' to young listeners. When I read the book we can NEVER say the word 'Fat' outloud - for fear 'someone' might be listening. A MUST book for young children. Even my non-Santa believers love the book.
