The Ages Of Castles: How Castles Were Built

You can see castles all over Europe, but have you ever wondered how they were built? Where did the people in medieval times get the stone to build them? How did they design and construct these great buildings? Who built them, and why?

This book describes castle building from the earliest castles, which were made of wood, to the great stone castles built at the time of the Crusades. Not only will you learn how and why castles were built, but you can build your own! A three-part, fully illustrated project is included, showing you how to make your own model of a typical "concentric" castle.
