From the preface: "Lord kevin's castle, although imaginary, is based...on several castles built to aid in the conquest of Wales between 1277 and 1305. ..The town of Aberwyvert, also imaginary, is based on towns founded in conjunction with castles...during .....the same period."
Synopsis
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.
