Bookroo's summary
Step into a medieval castle where every stone and structure serves a purpose. As an enemy army approaches, discover how walls, towers, and moats work together to protect the inhabitants. Will the castle withstand the siege, or will its defenses crumble? Uncover the secrets of medieval engineering and strategy in this immersive journey through time.
From the publisher
“What David Macaulay can draw – churches, cities, pyramids – he does better than any pen-and-ink illustrator in the world. Castle once again goes through a brick-by-brick assembly, employing cross-hatches and thin black lines to evoke a medieval place and period.” – Time
