Macaulay has produced a significant number of wonderful books documenting and explaining the construction of some of the world’s most remarkable structures (Cathedral, Pyramid, City, and so on). Here, he takes on one of the most romantic and identifiable of buildings, a medieval castle. The author/illustrator presents a step-by-step depiction of the creation of the fortress, from the planning through its completion with detail, perception, and humor. The result was awarded a Caldecott Honor in 1978. In Fine condition in a Fine dust jacket.
