Fantasy Castles,
This review is from: Pocket Guides: Castles (Paperback)
Ever since I traveled in Germany and France as a teenager, I have been fascinated with castles.
This tiny book shows what a kitchen looks like in a castle. There are lots of fireplaces, three-legged pots, even an apple corer was available back then. For anyone interested in castles, this is a good place to start. You can find information on early castles and forts, how they were built and specifics about the tower. Other information you will enjoy reading about: The Castle Dwellers The Garrison Daily Life Attack and Defense There is also a fascinating section on castles around the world, from Britain and Ireland to Japan. A glossary and index makes this quite useful. They also have so many beautiful pictures of castles, including the Bran Castle that inspired the Dracula legend. If you are looking for a book for children: Stephen Biesty's Cross-Section castle is pretty amazing as you can see inside a 14th-Century castle. ~The Rebecca Review

I stuck this book in my pocket as I toured castles in Wales, Scotland, and England. It was a great help to me in learning more about the architecture of castles, as well as what life was like during the age of the fortresses.Great for children and adults alike. |
