The first castles were simple walled-in wooden towers on mounds of earth. Learn how such humble structures developed into the magnificent fortresses that dot the British and European countryside to this day. Each castle was home to the rich and powerful through peacetime and war, often enclosing the bustling population of an entire town! Fast Forward: Castle brings alive the whole world of the Middle Ages — how people worked and played, how boys became knights, how armies defended their castles or mounted a siege to capture another. Using special split pages and colourful illustrations, the newest title in the FAST FORWARD series reveals castles in all their glory. Find out who was who in a medieval castle. Get caught up in the excitement of a joust. Even visit impressive castles that were jewels of the medieval cultures of the Middle East and Asia. Interactive, informative, and fun, this book is a noble addition to any child's bookshelf.
