by Barbara Taylor (Author)
Discover what lies behind the massive stones of a castle wall, beyond the iron gates and over the deep dark moat. Meet the elegant lady, the blacksmith in his forge and the young squire learning to joust. Find out about the armour and weapons of Europe's crusading knights and take a glimpse at the fearless Samurai warriors of Japan. Twelve projects show you how to build a model castle, become a juggling jester, or make a catapult. The cross-section artwork helps to give readers a real understanding of how the castle was built and how they protected the people they housed.
