Castles never cease to amaze with their grandeur, and this volume in the Middle Ages series (6 titles) does just that. Accessible text (two to three sentences per page and printed in a larger font) first describes the Middle Ages and a castle’s typical architectural structures and rooms during this time period. Reproductions and photos of real castles with labels and smaller, inset visuals reinforce comprehension. The second half of the book features several famous castles in Europe – from Romania’s Bran Castle to Spain’s Alcázar Castle to England’s Tintagel CastleСand relates their importance. Impressive double-page photos spotlight the magnificence of each castle, while small maps help beginning readers position the castle’s location. A large concluding infographic of a fictional castle with all its parts labeled is a helpful, summative guide.
