A Medieval Castle is a visual guide centering around life in the Middle Ages. Life around the castle is the focal point- how people lived, supplied the castle, what they ate, etc.
This book was okay- the illustrations were great and it was informative overall- but I was hoping for more focus on the castle itself, covering how it was designed/constructed in more detail. Something similar to David Macaulay's Cathedral. At only 40 pages, it's not going to be comprehensive, but it is a nice introduction for those interested in, or plan to visit, these structures of old.
