### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good overview of castles
*by A***G on March 6, 2025*

Excellent general overview of castles - how's & why's of choosing a site, materials and sequence of construction, how the different parts functioned, etc. - with detailed pen & ink illustrations to explain things visually......

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great illustrations!
*by Y***N on September 3, 2025*

We just love this book. Illustrations are really good and the storyline too. Perfect for our homeschool. Will get the whole series!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Macaulay classic
*by H***N on August 12, 2023*

As a long-time fan of Macaulay, even as a child, I somehow managed to miss out on this one. It is deserving of the acclaim. The illustrations are classic Macaulay, detailed and mesmerizing, and the text is devoid of embellishments yet captivating. This brings back great memories of 70s/80s childhood summers stocking up on similar books at the library…Macaulay, Biesty and Virginia Lee Burton. Easily worth the price and then some.
