Medieval castles were incredible feats of construction designed for military efficiency. This book tells the story of how they were built and the unique features incorporated into them for added defence.A castle was more than a building to attack and defend. It was a whole community designed to be self-sufficient in times of siege. As well as the lord and lady we see into the lives of other castle residents including the squires training for knighthood the jesters who entertained at banquets and the many others involved in daily chores such as cooking repairing masonry and woodwork and making clothes. Written by Christopher Gravett of the Royal Armouries at the Tower of London Castle provides a fascinating fly-on-the wall look at war and peace in the medieval period.

Rese�a del editor

This book on castles transports readers back to the world of medieval fortifications to meet the people who built them and lived inside them. Readers explore the first earth-and-timber castles, take part in a siege, watch the community of lords and ladies, jesters, pages going about their daily lives - even peek into the Great Hall and deep down into the dungeons. The striking photography and well-researched, fact-packed text of this series has captivated young and older readers alike, and established the "Eyewitness Guides" series as the perfect way to learn.
