Collins

Castle80 pp. "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."Keywords: CHILDREN ARCHITECTURE CASTLE HISTORY FORTIFICATIONS FORTRESSES FORTRESS FORT BUILDING ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN DEFENSE SYSTEMS WAR WARFARE MILITARY TACTICS STRATEGY

This is a 80 page book (including index) of the construction of a cathedral in a 'typical' midevil village.  It features very detailed pen and ink drawings and the written descriptions on each page are historicly  accurate, but also brief enough to make this very readable for middle grade students.
