THE GREAT BOOK OF FORTIFIED CASTLES

A large animated book to learn everything about life in a medieval castle: from its construction to the beautiful festivals that took place there, including the tournament at the foot of the ramparts and the raging battle... The author, Anne-Sophie Baumann, has passed under the portcullis of many castles, climbed the spiral staircases of the towers, walked the patrol paths of the passageways split by the arrow slits, observed the kitchen flooring, the frames of the lords' lodgings and the large chimneys... to convey to children the reality of these impressive constructions of yesteryear.
