(  ) mjhartley | Nov 21, 2009 |  This was one of my favorite books when I was younger. The pictures and the story captured my imagination. This is a very good book for all ages. mdkladke | Nov 16, 2009 | My first Macaulay experience..........I came across this book in my school library when I was gathering resources for a Medieval Unit. Our art teacher was going to have students produce Castles from clay and so we went searching for books to give students ideas for their castles. (  ) petajaye | Oct 11, 2009 | This "story" is really just a vehicle to relate much information about castles: how they are made, what they contain, why things are as they are, what use are they to a town and to a far away king, and how they can be defended. The details are numerous, but because the book is told as a story, it is not dry...I am fascinated by drawings of "how things work" so I loved the book. I think anyone reading this book will be interested in the specifics of how castles work, and enjoy reading it because it is presented in story form. A good book for a school library. mcivalleri | Aug 4, 2009 | Amazingly detailed black and white drawings accompany informative and interesting information about a fictional medieval castle and town in Wales. Information includes how the castle was built, how the toilets functioned, and how a siege against the castle might play out. The reading level seemed more for adults than children, but I guess if the interest is high enough, kids will comprehend the info. This is one of a series of books about different topics by David Macaulay. kateweber | May 22, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
