When the brave knight rescues the beautiful princess, all that remains is a monster sized egg. Best friends Brynn, Alys and Dilan decide to take the egg home to Eggsville, the place where all the kingdoms' eggs are laid, and hatch the giant chicken inside. The only problem is there's no such thing as a giant chicken. There are stories however, of fire breathing monsters guarding towers, and legends of great beasts roaming the sky at night. And now they seem to have brought one home, one that will surely require feeding. And what do monsters eat? Chickens of course, and lots of them! Soon, hatching the egg and dealing with the villagers will be the least of their problems. For a new arrival is imminent, one that is huge and dark and looks intent on destroying more than just a few eggs.

The Renaissance began in Italy, but it grew out of European civilization, with roots in Antiquity, in Christian dogma, and in Byzantium. The artistic ferment which had taken hold of Florence by 1420 was also reflected in the regional schools of Siena, Umbria, Mantua and Rome; and the new ideas spread from Italy through France, the Netherlands, Austria, Spain and Portugal. The book includes artists as diverse as Piero della Francesca, Van Eyck, Durer, Mantegna and Bellini, as well as the High Renaissance masters Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael. With superb illustrations of the artists' work and crucial historical information about the "rebirth" of arts and letters, the authors illuminate one of the most important periods of art history. 251 illus., 51 in color.
