Castles and Fortresses in clearly written and the text is supported with glorious photographs and diagrams. An absolute-must have for anyone researching or just interested in the subject. Accept no substitutes. King Ludwig's Castle Neuschwanstein caught my attention on the cover and I bought the book. The pictures are wonderful and take you into another world.
Pictures come alive with the artist's choice of watercolors, markers, crayons, etc.
Tournaments, chivalry, legendary knights such as Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain and the knights of the Round Table, St. George and the dragon. As an heraldic artist for over 40 years and with grandchildren becoming interested in ALL things, I found this book very helpful in passing on my interests. It has helped them to become intrigued with the Knights of the Roundtable and their play now includes slaying dragons and rescuing fair maidens. They also have started asking about the various insignia in all my books on heraldry. The illustrations brought to life the costumes and customs of the era.
