In the candlelit halls of 14th-century France, a knight sat with his daughter and shared the wisdom of a lifetime. The Book Of The Knight Of La Tour-Landry, compiled by Thomas Wright, is more than a medieval conduct literature classic; it is a heartfelt chivalric guide shaped by a father's devotion. Through vivid tales and practical counsel, the knight imparts moral instruction and knightly virtues, weaving together lessons on honour, courtesy, and medieval family values. Every page breathes with the concerns of a parent determined to prepare his child for the complexities of medieval Europe. This enduring anthology stands as a complete knight's guide, offering historical parenting advice that resonates even centuries later.

Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
