The Medieval Castle (Dover History Coloring Book) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
The residence of the local lord and center of the community, the medieval castle was also a stronghold against enemy attacks. Virtually self-contained, this fortress had everything necessary to maintain the life of the lord and his family. In 29 detailed, ready-to-color illustrations, artist A. G. Smith focuses on the activities of castle life and how the heavily fortified structure functioned.Included are detailed views of the castle’s main features: the moat, drawbridge, and portcullis (a heavy iron gate suspended by chains); strong tower, or keep; the Great Hall, center of court life; a chapel, the castle’s spiritual center; spiral staircases built within thick tower walls; dungeons; and other areas. Here also are scenes of a lady doing needlework at a window seat, stable workers caring for their steeds, a fair held on castle grounds, a crossbowman atop an outer wall, a castle under attack, catapults hurling large missiles, and more.Ideal for use at home or in the classroom, this fascinating book invites youngsters to have fun coloring while learning about life within a medieval castle.

My son asked me for some adult coloring books from medieval times, this is one of the ones that I got him and he really likes the book. This book is for the more advanced colorist as it has more fine lines and smaller details.
Excellent book. Dover does a good job with illustrations, captions and content. I would buy other categories. I have used Dover before, as I am a teacher.
I love castles, so when I found out there were coloring books with castles in them, I jumped at the chance to get one. Enjoying it very much.
Wonderful drawings to color as well as interesting historical information. Love this book!
Beautiful detailed pictures- just what I expect from Dover coloring books

Product was delivered in a timely fashion and was as advertised.
