Medieval Maidens

These books are too cool.  How I found out about them is pretty cool, too.

I take the girls to History Hour at the local Historical Society.  It’s a preschool program with a story, craft, yada, yada, yada…  Anyhoo, a few weeks ago, I was talking with one of the volunteers and I happened to find out that she was an author of children’s books- all about Medieval Princesses!

The Medieval Maidens stories are historical fiction stories for girls ages 7ish to 12ish.  Lois Jarman is the author, and she has written eight 40-60 page books, complete with a glossary and historical notes section in the back of each one.  The princess characters are actual real princesses who lived during the Middle Ages.

Lois was nice enough to bring her books and doll to the Historical Society for me to photograph and thumb through.

I have a history degree so I love the idea of historical fiction!  Fun and educational!  Lois sells the books in her online store, Medeival Maidens.

Oh, and store owners- ask Lois about carrying her books and doll in your online store!  She’d love to hear from you!  Right now, she mostly sells her books to girl scouts, who even have a badge for these stories!
