Epic Heroes & Heroines of the Middle Ages

Meet the heroes and heroines of the Middle Ages.

Epic Heroes & Heroines of the Middle Ages introduces your child to eleven memorable characters from medieval literature, folklore, and legend. Using sturdy, articulated paper figures, your child can assemble and interact with figures such as Beowulf, Mulan, King Arthur, Maid Marian, Scheherazade, and others while learning about the stories that made them enduring cultural icons.

Each figure is inspired by historical artwork, manuscripts, tapestries, and sculptures associated with the time period and can be assembled in either full color or black-and-white. Printed on durable cardstock with easy-to-assemble pieces, the figures are designed for repeated use and imaginative play.

More than a craft project, this resource pairs each figure with a concise, age-appropriate biography that explains the character's significance and place within medieval literature and storytelling traditions. An included reading list encourages further exploration for children who want to discover the original stories behind these legendary figures.

Whether your child is reenacting favorite scenes, illustrating a literature or history presentation, or simply exploring the heroes and heroines who have inspired generations, Epic Heroes & Heroines of the Middle Ages combines hands-on creativity with meaningful literary and cultural learning.

A wonderful companion to the Famous Figures series, this activity book helps bring medieval stories, world cultures, and classic literature to life.
