Learning About Heraldry (Learnabouts, Series 634)

This clearly written and beautifully illustrated book tells about the fascinating subject of heraldry, which is concerned not only with the romantic chivalry of the past but is also a very colourful part of our life today.

You will learn how to read a coat-of-arms, which can be a heraldic pictorial record of a family, city or school etc., and to appreciate that with its attractive and varied decorations, emblems and mythical creatures, heraldry provides interest and enjoyment in many spheres of our daily life.

NB: Whilst the cover states 'Learnabout Heraldry', the actual title page states only 'Heraldry' and that is how the book is recorded.
