Product Description

This reference brings to life every aspect of castles and castle life: why and how they were built, the weapons that were used in them, their social life in ordinary and extraordinary times, their provisioning, their maintenance and their changing role in a continually evolving political climate. The book is divided into two parts. First there are 14 thematic chapters, ranging from details of castle life to the different kinds of castles to be found in different parts of the country. The second part comprises a gazetteer which describes over 1000 of the most important castles in Britain and Ireland.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good mix of art and info, 7 Jan 2003

By Victoria Naegele - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Castles of Britain and Ireland (Hardcover)

Plantagenet Somerset Fry, who also gave us "Kings & Queens of England and Scotland," is a deft hand a giving fascinating tidbits of information and lots of great graphics to keep the pages turning. While there is much more gray in "Castles," it is a comfortable mix of scholarly information and pedestrian description that allows a pseudo-historian like myself to experience the world of castles throughout the centuries.
