Castle
The word itself conjures up mystery, romance, intrigue, and grandeur.
What could be more perfect for an author/illustrator who has
continually stripped away the mystique of architectural structures that
have long fascinated modern man? With typical zest and wry sense of
humor punctuating his drawings, David Macaulay traces the step-by-step
planning and construction of both castle and town.
