{"product_id":"kathleen-meikle-walker-medieval-pets-9781783275694","title":"Medieval Pets","description":"An engaging and informative survey of medieval pet keeping which also examines their representation in art and literature.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAnimals in the Middle Ages have often been discussed - but usually only as a source of food, as beasts of burden, or as aids for hunters. This book takes a completely different angle, showing that they were also beloved domestic companions to their human owners, whether they were dogs, cats, monkeys, squirrels, and parrots. It offers a full survey of pets and pet-keeping: from how they were acquired, kept, fed, exercised, and displayed, to the problems they could cause. It also examines the representation of pets and their owners in art and literature; the many charming illustrations offer further evidence for the bonds between humans and their pets, then as now. A wide range of sources, including chronicles, letters, sermons and poems, are used in what is both an authoritative and entertaining account.","brand":"Boydell Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54006963896662,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781783275694_1.jpg?v=1779878357","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/kathleen-meikle-walker-medieval-pets-9781783275694","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
